Elementary:

Kindergarten


Kindergarten is a year of magic - of growth, discovery, awareness, and learning.
No other year in a child's life will quite equal it.

The faculty of Gainesville Country Day School is pleased to share the magic and aid in making the most of the kindergarten child's opportunities.

Kindergarten offers children an opportunity to synthesize the skills acquired in our early childhood program with the academic strategies needed for competence in the elementary grades. Our faculty's academic background helps make them particularly sensitive to the developmental needs of each child. The Kindergarten student, while progressing at his/her own pace, is presented with a challenging variety of learning approaches.

Children entering Kindergarten must be
age 5 by September 1st of the school year.
