Kindergarten Program

(available at select locations)

Sunbrook Academy is committed to the total needs of your Kindergarten child. It is our goal to provide opportunities for your child to master the basic skills needed to be a productive, successful learner. Through interaction with real literature, problem-solving situations and hands-on materials, your child will have experiences with the many phases of learning. With our small group size and a low teacher/student ratio, we are able to meet the individual needs of each student.

Our Kindergarten curriculum is based on a combination of nationally reputable programs designed to enhance your child's academic knowledge. We offer a wide variety of whole-class, small group and individual activities. This combination works to aid in the development of your child academically, socially, physically and emotionally.

The Language Arts program, Lives of the Letter People, is research-based and classroom tested nationwide. It focuses on reading strategies with a primary emphasis on phonemic awareness. A variety of activities occur within a framework organized around initial and final consonants, short and long vowels, consonant blends, digraphs and literature. Much time is spent learning to read and write with this wonderful blend of whole-language and phonics. Our Mathematics and Science program is a nationally recognized curriculum called "AIMS" (Activities Integrating Mathematics and Science), a hands-on program designed to provide opportunities for exploration, patterning, problem solving and basic computation. The classroom equipment and materials have been specially chosen to create many opportunities for successful discovery and investigation.

Completing our Kindergarten Program are opportunities for free expression in art, music, physical education, computer instruction and Spanish. Sunbrook Academy's Parent Involvement Program includes regularly scheduled conferences, monthly student assessments, informational newsletters and family homework activities.

We welcome your child and family to our Kindergarten Program and are excited to share in your child's early education. We look forward to a wonderful relationship based on the growth and development of your child.
