Kindergarten
The Kindergarten is divided into two levels: Junior and Senior. Ages range from four to five. The primary emphasis of the Kindergarten is to acquaint youngsters with basic phonics, reading, and arithmetic skills. In teaching phonics, a multisensory approach - auditory, tactile, and visual - is employed. Bible is also an integral part of the Kindergarten curriculum. In addition, art, music, science, and literature are presented in a manner suitable for assimilation by Kindergarten-age children.
