Our Junior Kindergarten program enriches and academically challenges children who miss the age cut-off date to start kindergarten, as well as children not quite developmentally ready for kindergarten. Youngsters who turn five by December 31 are candidates for Junior Kindergarten.

This five-day program is a collaborative effort between faculty and administrators at both Sacred Heart Preschool and Sacred Heart Model School. In a caring, beautiful environment, children are guided through a developmentally appropriate curriculum that lays the foundation for a successful transition into kindergarten.

Parents of JK students may choose a half-day, school-day or full-day program.

Our unique Junior Kindergarten program provides a learning experience that meets the individual needs of children academically, socially and emotionally. Taught in small groups, theme-based units of learning include the following:

• Language Arts
• Math
• Handwriting Without Tears
• Science
• Multi-Cultural Social Studies
• Technology
• Enrichment
