Kindergarten Enrichment Program
(BEGINNING AT 5 YEARS OLD)*
The Malvern School Kindergarten Enrichment Program** provides an opportunity for children to enrich their skills and interests. Teachers develop weekly plans to support your child’s academic success and provide personalized homework support. Children have the opportunity to visit with friends, participate in group games/activities, and relax after the school day. In Kindergarten Enrichment, our goal is to supplement the education your kindergartener is experiencing at school.
*Age range is approximate. **The Malvern School Curriculum is fully aligned with State Early Learning Standards. Kindergarten Enrichment is offered at select Malvern School locations only. Contact us for more details.

Includes reading, creating, and understanding a variety of stories and poems.
Comprehension of math concepts including basic functions, geometry, measurement, and telling time.
Understanding the scientific process including hypothesizing, experimenting, and reflective thinking.
Building a community of learners who develop problem-solving skills and cultural awareness, while making new friends through positive social interactions.
Development of fine and large motor activities that will enable children to refine their writing ability, attempt various sports, and engage in daily active play.
