Kindergarten Program
We provide your child with a challenging curriculum and also strive to offer a learning environment that is safe, fun, and centered on Christ.
About our Program
St. Francis de Sales offers a full day Kindergarten program that is directly aligned to the academic content standards set forth by the state of Ohio and the Diocese of Cleveland. While providing your child with a challenging curriculum, we also strive to offer a learning environment that is safe, fun, and centered on Christ.
We use a variety of whole group, small group, and independent learning opportunities, which enables us to meet the needs of each and every student. The use of technology through computers, Promethean boards, and ipads is incorporated into all subject areas as well. We also value the importance of student centered free play activities as an important part of the children’s growth and development.
