Emmanuel offers both a half and a full day kindergarten program. The teacher covers the major academic subjects in the morning session with the afternoon being a time for academic enrichment, learning centers, additional music, arts and crafts and computer work. If interest and enrollment justifies offering a separate half-day kindergarten, most likely an afternoon class, one will be offered. Both programs emphasize phonics, reading readiness, developmental thinking, mathematical relationships, social studies and science in a Christ-centered curriculum.
Children learn to correctly write numbers and letters and begin phonetic Reading instruction.
Learning centers, listening activities, music, art, PE, and computer instruction enhance the program. Emmanuel uses nationally published curriculum and text books to teach the objectives, skills, concepts and facts we feel are necessary for mastery at each grade level. Cyclical curriculum review is an on-going process. In the Primary Grades Reading, Spelling, and Writing are taught through phonics as strong decoding skills set children on the right path to proficient reading. Two unique features of the Saxon Math program are its daily review of skills already taught and practical life skills in the areas of time, money, measurement and patterning.
