Kindergarten
Meet the Kindergarten Crew!
Kindergarten is the start to your child’s educational journey! Our Kindergarten team wants to provide the best education possible to our students. We currently implement the Tennessee State Standards. Below we have listed some skills and social/behavioral expectations that will help your child get a jump start on their transition into their Kindergarten experience.
Our goal is to fully prepare your child for 1st grade. We will work hard to help your child develop a love for reading and writing by the end of Kindergarten.
With your support at home, we know this can be achieved!
