Friends Western School still has a few spots in our warm and developmentally attuned Kindergarten class. In the Hummingbirds class children’s passionate interests, emotional intelligence, and drive to learn are all fostered to build a strong love of learning. We have been ahead of the curve on literacy for a while now, teaching the nuts and bolts of written language explicitly while also getting kids into reading and writing for authentic purposes right away.
Parents of children still looking for a developmentally appropriate Kindergarten experience in a mixed age K/1 class, get in touch at [email protected] and we’ll arrange a time for you to stop by!
