La Jolla Kindergarten (Ages 5-6)

Since early experiences in life have cumulative effects, our endeavor is to provide a rich kindergarten program in which each child's optimal period for growth and learning is enhanced and stimulated.

To achieve maximum progression, the Integral Education kindergarten developmental methods are built up from the child's already attained tendencies and abilities. Individual exercises as well as group activities are conducted.

Individual learning plans allow for the children to progress at their own unique pace and capacity, as well as allowing them to learn to be independent thinkers and self-motivated guides for themselves.

Group activities at this stage allow the children to be exposed to a variety of learning styles. Individuals therefore learn from one another and collaborate on ideas, experiments, and outcomes. Team effort and sportsmanship are introduced at this stage, which increases awareness in cooperation and togetherness. Structured physical activities are introduced to develop aptitude for strength, health, self-confidence, and team spirit.

Writing, reading, poetry, arts, general sciences, geography, history, numeration skills and introspective studies are encouraged at this time. Our progressive interactive Integral Education methods continue the development of the four domains of being (physical, vital, mental, and inmost consciousness). Progress in each domain influences and enhances development in the other domains.

Our Integral Education program allows children to follow and progress to their fullest capacity in the area(s) that they show motivation and an urge to learn. When children are provided with this freedom of choice in a structured and stimulating environment, they are shown to progress further than the average, and to welcome challenges along the way.
