The kindergarten program at Washington Elementary allows children to explore their world through rich experiences that link learning to daily life. The heart of the curriculum is student-centered and emphasis is placed around interdisciplinary themes of study such as bears, space, insects, and the five senses. The themes encompass reading, writing, math, social studies, science, art, and music. The integration of subject areas provide students with opportunities to practice and apply their skills in meaningful contexts. The curriculum is hands-on and instruction is provided in a variety of ways to meet the individual needs of the children.

As kindergarten teachers, it is essential to provide all students with a safe, nurturing, and positive academic learning environment. This type of environment will contribute to student learning and prepare the children for first grade.
