Science Lab
Building on the young child’s natural curiosity and excitement about the world, science study is central to every Kindergartener’s daily experience. Kindergarten students attend our fully equipped science lab twice a week, participating in 60 minutes of lab-based instruction with the science teacher. Curriculum topics introduced are based on recommendations and benchmarks indicated by the National Science Teachers Association, the National Science Foundation, and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.
