Grace Christian School Kindergarten is focused on providing a safe and stimulating Bible-centered learning environment in which students grow in the foundational concepts of early literacy and math, social skills, and fine motor skills. Our teachers have a passion for planting God’s Word into the hearts of children. Each day begins with prayer, pledges, a Bible lesson, and memorization of Bible verses. The time-tested Abeka Books curriculum is used to teach phonics-based reading as well as an introduction to numbers and mathematics. Whether you are using our half-day Kindergarten programs or our full-day K5, the GCS school day begins at 8:05am with drop-off beginning as early as 7:30am.
Half-day Kindergarten is available for children in K3 and K4. These young students are presented with a variety of learning situations and information without the pressure of grades. Completed work is sent home weekly, and progress reports are issued quarterly.
After-school care is available through the GCS Early Learning Center from 12:00pm – 6:00pm. The afternoon consists of a nap time as well as creative, hands-on activities and playtime.
The GCS K5 program is offered both as a half-day or full-day option. Half-day is from 8:05am-12:00pm and full-day ends at 3:00pm. Most academic material is covered during the half-day portion of K5. Those who stay for the full-day program take part in special extra-curricular activities classes such as art, computer, Spanish, and library. Full-day K5 students also take a nap during the afternoon. Both half and full-day K5 students take part in our thriving music program at GCS.
The GCS K5 curriculum exceeds the requirements set forth by the South Carolina Department of Education. GCS K5 focuses on a strong foundation in literacy and students finish the kindergarten program with a strong reading foundation that will help them succeed as they move forward into the elementary grades. Completed student work is sent home weekly and report cards are issued quarterly.
After-school care is available through the GCS Early Learning Center for K5 students from 3:00pm – 6:00pm. This after-school time consists of creative, hands-on activities and playtime.
