| The Wonderful World of Kindergarten |
|
Our goal for the year is for your child to become more aware of himself/herself and the fasicnating world around them. This first year of school is an important time in your child's life. It will have a profound effect on how he/she functions throughout life. Therefore, this experience must be a shared partnership between home and school.
