Kinder-Prep

Kinder-Prep Schedule

Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday

8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

The River Academy offers a loving, challenging, and fun learning environment for preschool children who will be turning 4 by September 1st. Our kinder-prep class consists of 12 students, one teacher, and one teaching assistant. Since The River Academy welcomes and encourages parent involvement, our kinder-prep class also frequently enjoys having a parent helper in the room.

The kinder-prep program allows students to explore and participate in a number of different learning experiences. Our students learn by using hands-on materials, singing songs, hearing stories, and playing games. Specific learning objectives are introduced, but the students are not required to master these skills before entering kindergarten. The small class size allows our teacher to provide an individualized learning pace. Our teacher uses observation and the collection of student work samples to assess each child’s progress throughout the school year.
