What your child will learn
Our kindergarten curriculum blends rigorous academics with a joyful, hands-on approach and a strong foundation of faith.
Reading & language arts
Letter sounds, phonics, and early comprehension through playful, hands-on activities. Children blend sounds to read simple words and retell stories.
Writing
Fine motor skills, proper letter formation, and the confidence to express ideas. Children practice names, labels, and simple sentences.
Mathematics
Number sense through counting, comparing, patterns, shapes, and problem-solving. Numbers 0-20, simple addition and subtraction.
Science
Plants, animals, weather, seasons, and simple experiments. Children learn to ask questions, observe carefully, and talk about discoveries.
Social studies
Learning about self, family, school, and community. Rules, traditions, and how to care for and respect others.
Faith formation
Woven into every part of the day through Bible stories, prayer, and service. Building a personal relationship with God.
How we teach
Learning at St. Peter happens through small-group instruction, learning centers, hands-on manipulatives, read-alouds, storytelling, and guided practice that builds independence and confidence. Daily routines reinforce kindness, respect, and responsibility alongside academic growth.
Our curriculum uses:
- HMH and IXL for language arts and reading
- Amplify Math for mathematics
- Nancy Larson for science
- Enduring Faith for spiritual formation
Technology is used purposefully in short sessions for skill reinforcement, not as a substitute for teacher-led instruction. The emphasis is always on hands-on learning, rich classroom conversation, and building your child’s confidence as a learner.
