Accelerated Prekindergarten/Private Kindergarten

Ages 5 to 6 years                    Staff to child ratio- 1 to 10

(Northland location only)

Our kindergarten program is designed for families who prefer the smaller setting and one-on-one attention that Spectrum Station provides. This program is available for kindergarten-age children and children who miss the public school age cut-off within a few months. We feel that children who have attended early learning programs for most of their lives need to continue to learn, even if they miss the age requirements outlined by the state. Our low staff to child ratio allows our kindergarten teacher to give each child the special attention he or she needs and enables students to progress through new curriculum with greater success.

Our program is taught by a certified kindergarten teacher with experience teaching kindergarten in the Kansas City area. She uses the Missouri Department of Education criteria to create learning materials for the theme-based curriculum. The large classroom is set up with “Discovery Centers” similar to our preschool and prekindergarten programs. Learning materials in these areas are specifically related to the weekly developmental goals. Students work in cooperative groups while learning new material. Spectrum Station’s kindergarten program is challenging, innovative, and enjoyable for all children.
