2015-2016
Your Kindergarten Team!
Mrs. Peddycord (301)
Mrs. Tiffany (203)
Children come to Kindergarten with many different skills and talents and at many different levels of readiness. For this reason, the Kindergarten program begins at a slow pace to ensure that all students ease in to the school year at their own comfort level. Please be patient during these first few weeks of instruction. Our program is wonderful and the needs of each child will be met. We promise you that you will see a tremendous amount of learning happen this year and your child will grow academically and socially.
WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
