Parental involvement is always encouraged. Kindergarten Clarke Jacksonville's kindergarten expands on the foundation of the preschool program for children ages five and six who need an extra year in a language-rich environment that includes individual auditory, speech, and oral language therapy. The goal is to prepare children for mainstreamed education. Children learn about letters, sounds, science and social studies concepts and numbers. They begin to write words, phrases and sentences, building a word bank of sight vocabulary and words that they can sound and blend.
Parents continue their close involvement and daily communication with teachers.
