Kindergarten
The purpose of Kindergarten at VCA is to teach children a rich, meaningful, Christ-focused, and balanced curriculum of skills and information through age-appropriate activities that encourage children to want to learn more. We want to engage them in singing, playing, drawing, and social interaction.
Please see below some of the ways to prepare your child for Kindergarten.

CHILDREN
This checklist is only a guideline, and is not comprehensive, nor definitive. It is designed to give a parent a better understanding of what most students know when they start Kindergarten. If they start Kindergarten knowing these things, they will have a solid foundation for the start of the school year. If your child does not know all these things, it is okay, and we will teach them.
