Junior Kindergarten

"Does it have wings yet?"
Like good scientists, four-year-old children are observant and inquisitive, always asking “Why?” The LFCDS Junior Kindergarten (JK) program is designed to maximize children’s natural curiosity by helping them explore patterns and connections in the world around them. Literacy and math activities are integrated throughout the science-based JK curriculum. As students go on nature hikes, make observations, and record their findings in journals, they gain confidence in their ability to make sense of the natural world. Specialists teach Spanish, music, and physical education.

JK students are transitioning from half-day preschool to full-day senior kindergarten, so the weekly schedule includes both full and half days. In addition, JK children have opportunities to extend their half days through lunchtime or until 3:30 p.m., or extend any day until 6:00 p.m. through the Extended School Program.
The LFCDS Junior Kindergarten program is for children who have turned four on or before September 1
