The Pine Crest Lower School curriculum incorporates skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, technology and communication. Our Lower School students are exposed to information and activities that stimulate curiosity and excite the imagination while encouraging them to become independent thinkers, intrepid problem solvers and leaders prepared to meet global challenges of today and the future.
Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten
Pine Crest School's pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs focus on providing a well-balanced, developmentally appropriate curriculum that meets the individual needs of each child in literacy, mathematics, science, computer science, social studies, technology and the arts.
There are two full-time teachers in each pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classroom who provide a nurturing learning environment that fosters each student's love of learning. With encouragement and support from their teachers, students become independent thinkers in a challenging academic setting.
Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Curriculum
The pre-kindergarten and kindergarten curricular programs are enriched by experiences in technology, library, character development, movement, modern language, art, music and dramatic play.
Building on the Foundation
Building upon the nurturing foundation of our early childhood program, the curriculum for grades one through five shifts toward a more specialized and rigorous academic experience. As students transition into these primary years, they continue to develop the core skills of literacy and logic while beginning to explore subject-specific mastery under the guidance of expert educators.
