Kindergarten

Immanuel Lutheran Kindergarten works together with families to educate the whole child. The spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of each student are valued and enhanced. Classes are taught by experienced teachers who work to individualize instruction; they provide an exciting and warm classroom environment where each child can thrive and develop a lifetime love of learning.

Immanuel’s enriched kindergarten curriculum includes a multisensory approach to both Language Arts and Math. Students gain knowledge of new concepts and develop critical thinking skills with KinderMath’s hands-on engaging math activities and fun manipulatives. The Orton-Gillingham approach promotes age appropriate development of phonics, phonemic awareness, and general reading and writing skills.

Students are encouraged to expand upon their current level of knowledge, and our small class size allows for individualized instruction for students who may struggle or excel. Our Accelerated Reader program provides opportunities for each child to work on reading and reading comprehension at his/her level.
