Elizabeth Meyer Kindergarten Program
Kindergarten is an exciting time for children and parents/guardians. We look forward to enhancing your child’s learning through a strong partnership with you. Studies have shown that strong family and school partnerships will lead to a successful experience not only in kindergarten, but throughout your child’s educational career.
Our Kindergarten program welcomes students who will be AGE 5 by September 1, 2025.
