Senior Kindergarten

A World of Possibilities

Welcome to Senior Kindergarten!

Here our five and six-year-olds, feeling quite grown up as “seniors,” will proudly point out they now have their own individual desks and are becoming “accomplished” readers, writers and mathematicians.

They experience joy and freedom in a room created specifically for them. The Seniors will quickly show you the tunnel and slide that lead to a perfect place for letting imaginations soar – the loft.
