Kindergarten

Cultivating a Lifelong Love of Learning

Welcome to ECS Kindergarten

At Eastside Christian School, our kindergarten program is designed to set your child on the path to educational success, blending quality education with a nurturing environment. From the very start, we provide a strong academic foundation that fosters a genuine love for learning.

Our Program at a Glance

We follow a traditional educational philosophy, where tried-and-true methods like ABEKA phonics and Saxon math help ensure mastery of fundamental skills. We understand that young children thrive on repetition, which builds perseverance and character—skills that are invaluable as they progress through their education. To complement this philosophy, we thoughtfully integrate technology into our curriculum. Engaging reading and math software allows children to practice and review skills at their own pace, inspiring them to reach new goals as they grow. Core Subjects: Phonics, Math, Science; Weekly Enrichment: Art, Music, PE.

Faith in Action

As a private Christian school, we believe spiritual growth is vital to a child’s development. Our kindergarten program includes engaging Bible lessons that introduce children to important stories and values, helping them understand the foundation of our faith. Through Bible verse memorization, we encourage children to internalize key teachings, reinforcing their connection to these lessons. Weekly chapel sessions provide a joyful opportunity for worship and community, uniting students in celebration and reflection. The integration of spiritual learning in Christian education not only enriches our curriculum but also nurtures the hearts and minds of our young learners, fostering a sense of purpose and belonging.

A Day in Kindergarten

Community and parental involvement are at the heart of our private kindergarten experience. We encourage parents to participate in classroom activities and events, fostering a strong sense of community. Families enjoy how we incorporate cultural and holiday traditions into our curriculum and field trips, making learning a shared adventure. Our dedicated teachers create a safe and nurturing environment, prioritizing both safety and emotional well-being. With small class sizes (student-to-teacher ratio of 8:1), each child receives personalized attention, allowing for tailored instruction that meets their unique needs.
