Kindergarten

The Novato Charter School’s two-year Kindergarten program is a developmentally–based child-centered environment. This setting allows each child the opportunity to reconstruct the world around them through play, social interaction, and group activities. The daily activities gently guide the children through the day with song, music, rhythmical gestures, movement, puppet shows, and plays. The daily routine includes gardening, baking, artistic activities, and nature studies. Kindergarten, “a child’s garden”, is not yet a time to expose the child to academic pressures. It is a time to preserve childhood. Their work is their play, and their play encourages healthy social/emotional development. Kindergarten serves as the foundation for learning in an environment of community, cooperation, and respect.
