King of Kings now offers an All-Day Kindergarten Class.

The goal for this class is to instill the love of learning by providing a well-rounded curriculum that includes academics as well as Art, Music, Spanish and Physical Education. This class will meet Monday through Thursday each week beginning at 9am and ending at 3pm. The school year will begin the Tuesday following Labor Day and will end the Friday before Memorial Weekend. Children must be 5 years old by September 30 of the school year. The class size will be limited to 18 children with a full time teacher and part time teacher’s aide two half days a week. The small class size allows us to concentrate on each child’s needs and to quickly recognize areas which might need extra attention.

One of our goals is to introduce pre-reading skills that will eventually usher each child into reading at an appropriate level. We accomplish this task by creating a world of words for our Kindergartners. We utilize a combination of phonics, whole language and individual guided reading to reach this goal.

We use Everyday Mathematics for our math instruction which emphasizes hands on skills. Teacher created materials provide the curriculum for both Science and Social Studies which uses discovery and recalls experiences in discovering the world that God created for us.

Music, Art, Physical activities are part of the everyday experience. Once a week they will have a special class in one of the following areas – Art, Gym, Music and Spanish.

A Bible story is introduced each week during Jesus Time. The children will attend chapel once-a-week which is led by either the pastor or our school director. We feel that the children should have opportunities to develop understanding, learn cooperation, enhance language skills and grow spiritually.

We do not offer a hot lunch program so the children will bring a sack lunch to have at lunch time. Parents are encouraged to pack a balanced diet lunch for their child each day which includes a Protein (meat or peanut butter), Dairy, Fruit& Vegetable, and Grain (breads, crackers etc.) along with Fluid Milk. The “Shelf Stable Milk” is a great source of milk to pack in your child’s lunch. It does not require refrigeration. If a child is missing a food from one of the food groups, we have on hand items that we will offer to the child to complete their lunch. The child does not have to take the food that is offered to them. We generally have apple sauce, peanut butter, crackers, beef sticks, string cheese and shelf stable milk. Healthy bodies – Healthy minds!

Parents will have opportunity to volunteer as a classroom helper and lunch / noon hour recess monitor. It is very important that parents demonstrate to their child their joy in helping out with their class and the importance of a strong foundation program.
