Private Kindergarten
At Small World Child Care Centers, our private kindergarten program offers an
enhanced and progressive educational experience beyond that of traditional public
schools. Our smaller teacher-to-student ratio allows for individualized attention,
ensuring each child receives the support they need to excel. First-grade teachers from
our feeder schools consistently report that our graduates are more advanced than their
peers from public kindergartens.
We strongly believe in the power of parental involvement in education. We hold biannual parent-teacher conferences to keep you informed about your child's progress. Graduates of our kindergarten program leave with strong foundational skills, including reading, counting to 100, basic addition and subtraction, and money counting.

Our Private Kindergarten Includes:
- Morning Group
· Circle Time: including recognizing numbers 0-30, counting to 100, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, color words and number words by sight, spelling and recognizing first and last names of the class, telling time, blending sounds, and beginning and ending sounds.
· Coming Up: discussing new skills that we will be learning that day and week.
· Theme Talk: introducing the new theme we’ll be learning about.
· Character Education: choosing a character, such as patience, to discuss and act out. - Large Group: Including playing the “hot and cold” game, where they hide an item and then give hot and cold clues to find it.
- One on One: Including pulling the children aside one at a time to work with the child in a specific area to ensure proper understanding of the skills currently being taught.
- Language: Including learning the different sounds in words by using things in their every day that include a specific letter. They all have a chance to discuss the items and give examples of items with the letter in them.
- Creative Arts: Including having each child make an umbrella out of cupcake papers and pipe cleaners, using cotton balls for the clouds, and then hanging them around their classroom.
- Science/Sensory: Including placing a raw egg in vinegar. The vinegar eats the shell leaving the yolk in the membrane for them to see. After they all have a chance to see and touch it, they get to pop it.
- Dramatic Play: Including making fish from paper, colored foil, and felt with fins sticking out. They make fishing poles and then go fishing on a blue round rug in the classroom.
- Math/Manipulative: Including using rulers to measure two items and then deciding which one is greater (or less) in size.
- Music/Movement: Including allowing the children to make up their own lyrics to the songs while learning rhyming words or playing musical chairs.
- Outdoor Learning: Including watching the clouds after learning about clouds in the classroom.
