In Kindergarten, our young mathematicians continue to build strategies and skills for problem solving through authentic real-world contexts.
Learning to count objects accurately and efficiently by making groups as well as exploring how numbers can be put together and taken apart is a central focus. Students build upon their number sense with the use of concrete manipulatives and visual models, such as five and ten frames, math racks, and number lines.
While developing this solid foundation of numbers, students also explore patterns, geometry, and measurement throughout the year. Math concepts are introduced, revisited and built upon in an effort to enhance each child’s self-confidence.

Language Arts for Kindergarten is based on the belief that children become increasingly aware of language when experiences are made meaningful, functional and interesting.
Children begin to develop an appreciation of literature and skills that will help them become independent writers, while also further refining their oral expression and enhancing their listening and critical thinking skills. Kindergarten incorporates the needs and interests of each child with theme-based studies and the application of new skills.

At the start of the school year, kindergarteners intentionally build a safe and trusted community where students can celebrate their differences, make friends, take risks, and learn from their mistakes.
As part of our Social Studies and DEI curricula, kindergarteners have the opportunity to learn more about what constitutes a family, learn the science behind skin tones, and develop a sense of pride in their own identity.
By creating and signing a class contract, devising their own Hopes and Dreams, and collectively researching and democratically deciding on a class name, the children help to shape their school year as individuals and as part of the class and wider school community.
Throughout the year, kindergartners’ curiosity about their local environment is nurtured by exploring and learning about nature in Olmsted Woods. To develop their stewardship of Olmsted Woods, the children raise money for the ongoing protection of the woods by

At Beauvoir, our library and technology programs intersect to provide students with the informational literacy and digital literacy skills needed to be experienced researchers, online citizens and critical consumers of information in the digital age.
In Kindergarten, students visit the library once a week with their class to hear stories and to choose books to borrow and take home to enjoy with their families.
Our library curriculum supports students in taking knowledge and ideas that they have learned in the classroom and fully exploring the library’s informational texts and fiction on that topic.
We strive to provide limitless resources to nurture students’ curiosity and help them develop into critical consumers of information in today’s increasingly digital world

Science strengthens a kindergartener’s ability to discriminate among details, to think critically, to make discoveries and to make observations. Students also engage in the scientific process of observing, investigating, predicting and experimenting.

A focus on health and wellness is woven throughout many aspects of the kindergarten curriculum at Beauvoir. Beauvoir’s Children’s Garden, started in 2002, has been a large part of the Beauvoir experience and provides many of the vegetables and herbs used in our kitchen.
From a young age, the students learn to grow and harvest their own vegetables. Research shows how nature can boost mental acuity and creativity, as well as promote health and wellness.
Beauvoir’s campus has been mentioned in numerous publications, including The Atlantic magazine, and touted as an exemplary place for children to learn, play, and grow.
