Full-Day Kindergarten

At Hales Corners Lutheran School, our Kindergarten teachers foster independence and help children to gain and use skills necessary for working in small groups as well as the class as a whole. Students learn how to function well as group members, how to ask for help and to be helpful, how to complete a task. Each child is encouraged to move beyond his/her current level of understanding.

At the Kindergarten level, students will begin reading in addition to working on phonics, writing, and handwriting. Kindergarten students attend science lab and computer lab once per week, and music and physical education twice per week. Students also come together with other children in the school for weekly chapel service and are even empowered to plan and present one chapel message each year.

The Kindergarten classroom is a safe, supportive and welcoming environment. Our learning environment provides students with a variety of opportunities to try out new ideas and be challenged with new experiences that engage budding readers, writers, scientists, mathematicians and artists. Teachers help students to be empowered, to feel valued, to be listened to, to be competent and successful in school.
