“Maria Regina is an Amazing school. Their Kindergarten program is beyond Amazing. My daughter ran into school every day and never wanted to leave. She went into Kindergarten as a toddler and came out a Big Kid. She was reading, understanding Math and doing science experiments. Mrs Hasbrouck is an amazing teacher–she is tough and loving at the same time with the kids. The kids absolutely adore her and rightfully so. My husband and I had no doubt that Sarah would be continuing her education at Maria Regina. Although, if anyone has any doubts entering the Kindergarten program at the end of the year your mind will be made up to keep your kids at Maria Regina. The Education is superior than any other school around. You not only get a 5 estar education at Maria Regina you get a loving, caring and religious environment. It truly is a family that keeps the core values of Education important. Every single staff member at Maria Regina truly loves their job and wants to be there and it is reflected in the kids and school. I could go on and on but you need to see the school, staff, and Father Jason our Pastor for yourself and you will be sold on Maria Regina.”

Kindergarten Curriculum
-
In Kindergarten, the ELA curriculum focuses on letter sounds, blending sounds to form words, sight words and writing skills. We explore different types of literature and authors.
Our Math program is a fantastic hands-on program which leads the children to a deeper understanding of numbers, shapes, measurement, addition, and subtraction.
Religion is taught on a daily basis as well as being integrated into the social and emotional growth aspect of our day. We learn about God’s love in our lives, our faith community, lives of the saints as well as religious holidays. Kindergarten students attend First Friday masses as well as all prayer services.
In Science, we cover topics such as weather, animals, seasons, plants, health, and magnets just to name a few. We take a hands-on approach to learn about our topics.
-
Our Social Studies Curriculum includes Community, Presidents, American holidays and Holidays around the World.
Kindergarten participates in the following specials: STEM, Phys. Ed., Art, Music, Technology and Art. Our students have their own tablets which we use with I-Ready, a supportive Math and Reading program. They also receive Academic Intervention Services (AIS) 5 times each week to support our Reading and Math programs. Kindergarten has the privilege to perform the Nativity Pageant at Christmas time in front of their families!
We have not forgotten the importance of socialization for our 5 year olds! We have play time in centers, have fun on our playground and frequently take brain breaks with movement activities!!

"Maria Regina has become the foundation of our family’s education. It has centered us all to a life of learning, service to our community, and further nurturing our faith in Christ and his teachings. Both of our sons have attended their Kindergarten program which nurtured and developed their love of learning, curiosity, and furthered their ability to learn site words, mathematics and desire to read. Our children have learned through play, use of music, and guided instruction by a variety of educators. This program fostered development which has kept us thriving and continues our success as the boys are now entering 5th and 2nd grade alike."
