Kindergarten provides the building blocks of physical, social, and emotional development, as well as the foundations of language, literacy, thinking, and cognitive skills.

Equally important, it provides a bridge from education at home or preschool to education in a more traditional classroom, where children interact with a teacher, a set of rules, and each other in order to learn.
At Pioneer teachers are the facilitators of lessons. Students are at the center of the classroom and are able to take control of their own learning. Students are challenged appropriately. In Pioneer’s Kindergarten classrooms, we aim to build a strong educational foundation and instill a love for learning from the very start.
Our teachers use appropriate pedagogical strategies to set students up for success.

The Lower School curriculum focuses on guiding our young students as they gain confidence and agility in reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, and Spanish. Students develop the foundational skills for critical thinking and listening, comprehension, research, and creative exploration.
