In our Methuen, Andover, and Lowell setting, a Kindergarten classroom is offered as an alternative to public school kindergarten, or as a pre-kindergarten classroom.  These rooms with a ratio of 1 teacher per 13 students focus on reading and writing and identifying skills, all through active learning games, materials, songs, stories, and field trips.  Children learn to write and recognize their name and other certain words.  Children also have the option of coming full day or half day and coming year round.
