The Kindergarten program offers a Reggio-inspired approach with best practices in early childhood in alignment with the Arizona Department of Education Academic Standards. With a maximum of 16 students, our exceptionally low ratio of 1:8 allows for the development of the whole child. A blend of both child and teacher-led learning encourages children to engage as active participants in their construction of knowledge while accomplishing and/or exceeding the educational standards defined by the state board of education.

The students’ experiences are enhanced by discoveries through hands-on experimentation and purposeful play. These types of developmentally appropriate practices encourage long-term success in the academic arena. The Kindergarten curriculum extends beyond the traditional areas of learning and offers Atelier, Music, Spanish, Movement (P.E.), and the Culinary Arts. There are plenty of opportunities for outside discovery through the Outdoor Classroom/Playground.

The Kindergarten classes are:
August 18, 2025 - May 21, 2026 | Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 2:30 pm
Following the PVUSD Calendar with the exception of half days and fall break.
