YOUNG LEARNERS
The Minnesota Department of Education articulates specific expectations for children as they enter Kindergarten. Our program prepares your Kindergarten child for life as a learner in classroom settings and serves as the foundation for Elementary School. The content, rules, skills, and structure children learn at this level remains with them and informs later learning. Our Kindergarten curriculum at Holy Cross exceeds the learning standards set by the Minnesota Department of Education.
You will know your child is ready for Kindergarten when he or she exhibits knowledge and skills across multiple learning areas. These include appropriate social and emotional skills, beginning knowledge of math and science, physical and motor growth, and exposure to the arts, language, literacy, technology, and communication. These outcomes form the core of our early childhood education curriculum at Holy Cross.
