Kindergarten

Kindergarten is a time of change, challenge, and opportunity. At FMRNS our teachers are responsive to the developmental, individual, and cultural needs of each child. Kindergarteners are able to make great intellectual leaps and they go through major shifts allowing them to show more personal responsibility, self-direction, and logical thinking. Kindergartners' growth affects development physically, socially, cognitively, and linguistically. A positive, challenging and engaging Kindergarten experience can shape a child's overall outlook on and engagement in lifelong learning.
