The enhanced Kindergarten Plus (K+) program at His Kids Christian School offers students the opportunity to "ease into" an elementary school schedule. This innovative and child-friendly classroom allows students to begin the school year by attending morning sessions only for the first nine-week marking period. At the beginning of the second, third, and fourth marking periods, a full-day is added so that by the end of the year, students attend kindergarten for three full-day and two half-day sessions each week.
Benefits to Children
Children have more time to adjust gradually to full-day school sessions
The teacher has more time to provide individualized instruction to
students who are achieving above or below the normal classroom
expectations.
The school day offers more time for
age-appropriate, hands-on activities that reinforce morning
academics
Students are provided with additional
meaningful social and academic learning experiences at a more
relaxed pace
Opportunities for interaction with
older elementary students are more readily available during the
extended school days
Students have more time to
participate in special subjects and activities during the full-day
classes
Children are better able to adjust to first grade with confidence because K+ eases the transition into an all-day elementary schedule.
