KINDERGARTEN

Half-Day School Program 
M - F
9:00am to 2:00pm

Our highly sought after Kindergarten program opened during the 2013-2014 school year.  Kindergarten students attend school 5 days a week from 9:00 until 1:30/2:00 (4.5/ 5 hours a day).  Class size, typically around 16 children, gives our kindergarten a 1 to 8 teacher/child ratio, often less with the presence of a floating assistant.  This small class size is ideally suited for children who are not quite ready for the larger public school class sizes.  Our program follows the Virginia Standards of Learning for Kindergarten and utilizes many of the teaching practices followed in neighboring school systems so that children can make an easy transition to first grade.  In addition to the academic subjects, children also enjoy daily gross motor and weekly fine arts sessions of art and music.  Our kindergarten children have early release one Wednesday a month in order for the teachers to participate in staff training sessions.

Aldersgate KinderPrep bases it's curriculum on the Kindergarten Standards of Learning established by Virginia.  Click on the link below to visit Virginia's Department of Education website.  Standards of Learning are listed by subject area, not grade level.
