Kindergarten Programs

​

Lamb's Gate offers Kinder Bridge and Kindergarten classes. It is currently a combination class. The difference between learning occurs when the teacher works with the students in small groups. Differentiated instruction is used to challenge the students where they are at.

​

Kinder Bridge (Developmental Kindergarten)

​

Our Kinder Bridge class is a half day program (8:45 am to 12:00 pm) that meets five days a week. This unique program was started to give students one more year of development before they enter a full day kindergarten program.

 

It is a wonderful fit for students who turn five in the summer or early fall or for those who might benefit from a half day program over a full day program. Kinder Bridge uses Hooked on Phonics, Heggerty Phonemic Awareness, Saxon Math, and God's Design: Life for Beginners Science. Art and history are also incorporated as the students move their way through thematic units.

Kindergarten

​

Our full day kindergarten class meets Monday through Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This class uses the same curriculum as mentioned above (Hooked on Phonics, Heggerty Phonemic Awareness, Saxon Math, and God's Design: Life for Beginners Science) with an extra two hours of instruction. 

 

These foundation curricula are coordinated with themed, teacher-planned lessons and a variety of supplementary activities. Learning is hands-on and highly integrated between subject areas. 

​

*Kindergarten qualifies for tax credits through ACSTO and IBE, however, Kinder Bridge does not as it is not intended to be Kindergarten, but a bridge to kindergarten the following year.
