A word about our Private Kindergarten Program at Kirkpatrick Farms

KSTEM is an accelerated program with a strong focus in reading and writing that will ensure children have a strong foundation for future learning. Unique to our program is the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum that is integrated into a traditional kindergarten classroom; children are introduced every day to STEM and are challenged to use concepts taught to construct objects that will be used to solve a problem.

This program appreciates the natural learning process of children and incorporates teaching methods that recognize and respects the way children learn best. Children have a natural curiosity and desire to construct things. Through exploration, and consistent, meaningful interaction with their teacher, children construct a deeper understanding of their world and how it exists through hands on projects and lessons.
