About Our Program

Our Bridge Kindergarten and Kindergarten class instructs the children using hands-on manipulatives and opportunities to expand the growth and understanding of the skills. We use the Secret Stories curriculum, Secret Stories curriculum and decodable leveled readers to enhance small group reading time. We use the Everyday Math and Scholastic Science Spin program. FAPK follows the VA SOL’s as our framework when creating learning objectives. Additionally, both Kindergarten classes will experience technology instruction (usage of a school Chromebook), and one off-premises field trip (with guardian attendance). While our Bridge Kindergarten students will receive all instruction of the concepts during their shorter day. Our exclusive Kindergarten students receive added reinforcement of these concepts to ensure mastery of all skills. This added reinforcement occurs in the afternoon hours. Our goal for each child in the exclusive Kindergarten class is that they will be fully prepared for a successful first grade year. Our goal for the Bridge Kindergarten students is that they will receive exposure to all of the kindergarten concepts. Therefore, when they move on from FAPK and are enrolled in their next year of kindergarten the skills are not unfamiliar, and they are able to quickly show mastery… perhaps even begin with some mastery of the skills!
