Kindergarten

A small-class, faith-based kindergarten in Longwood, Florida, four days a week on campus, with Fridays at home.

Our part-time Kindergarten program in Longwood, FL takes a unique, intentional, and developmentally-appropriate approach to meeting 5-year-olds right where they are — gently building the skills, confidence, and curiosity they need to thrive in elementary and beyond.

Learning in Kindergarten looks a lot like play — because for this age, it should. Through hands-on projects, sensory experiences, and exploration across art, science, music, and more, children build a rich foundation that goes far beyond early academics. Small class sizes and individualized phonics instruction ensure every child gets the attention and space to grow at their own pace.

Program Highlights:

  • Small class sizes (15 or fewer)

  • Class on-campus 4 days a week — Monday through Thursday

  • Homeschool days are Fridays

  • Step Up For Students PEP and UA Scholarship eligible

Hours:
9:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays; 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Wednesdays
