Early Childhood at St. Richard’s Episcopal School is grounded in experiential learning, an aesthetic development with broad cultural exposure, and a strong inquiry-based science program.  Each grade level focuses on a consistent theme with a logical progression.

Our youngest learners also have three weekly French lessons to support the school-wide focus on French language and culture, culminating in a capstone project called Promenade En Vélo. All grade levels also begin to build the foundations of public speaking and performing through longstanding traditional performances and our music program. 

 

With hands-on activities designed to develop their skills in language arts, mathematics, and special-focused subjects, students progress at their own pace, constructing knowledge and developing confidence. Social emotional well-being, physical education, and spirituality are also fundamental to our students become well-adjusted, healthy and joyous learners. Outdoor play and exploration are vital to the day in the life of our Early Childhood students.

All students are expected to be fully toilet trained before entering Pre-Kindergarten.
