Gainesville Country Day School

Kindergarten

A year of magic, growth, discovery, awareness, and learning.

No other year in a child’s life will quite equal the year spent in Kindergarten. 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.

Academic strategies needed for competence in the elementary grades

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.

Staff Qualifications

The faculty at our preschools and elementary school are well qualified. Each classroom hosts two teachers with degrees in either early childhood or elementary education. Additional instructors outside the classroom are used for specialties such as art, physical education, Spanish, music, technology, logic and poetry to supplement the curriculum.
