"Our son has grown so much in the first couple of months – this was most evident when he read a book to me for the first time. I will never forget that moment."

– Bridget Johnson, A-L Kindergarten Parent

A place where children love to learn

Kindergarten is an important year. What kids learn in kindergarten helps to build the foundation for lifelong learning. We teach kids how to read and write, how to get along with others, and how to solve problems. But more importantly, we teach kids how to love learning!

Your child will make new friends and have lots of time to play and explore the world around them. We welcome each child at their current level of ability and provide developmentally-appropriate learning activities.

"I love teaching kindergarten for all of those big WOW moments they experience throughout the year. Giving them time to learn, explore, play and be kids together is the best part of kindergarten!"

– Kim Schneider, Kindergarten teacher
