Early Kindergarten
An advanced social, emotional, and educational foundation
The tenets of the Pre-Kindergarten program are to value each student as a unique child, capitalize on their natural curiosity and eagerness to learn, foster self-awareness, and build self-confidence.
Early Kindergarten at Bayer follows the academic calendar year, with after school care availability.
Unlike daycare, Bayer offers an authentic education taught in a loving and nurturing environment, with the following distinctions:
- Emphasis on phonics and phonemes
- Math mastered through tactile and relational methods
- Firm command of literacy
- Independent writing through journaling
- Specialized instructors teach Spanish through immersion, technology, music, hands on science lab, and physical education.
What is the most important of all is our children can’t get enough of their teachers and new friends
Our children previously attended an excelling traditional charter school and an A+ public school, neither of which were the right mix of academic challenge and family atmosphere we were looking for. Bayer’s curriculum allows our youngest to excel, while the small class sizes help our oldest to stay focused.
Teaching at Bayer enables me to teach in a positive schooling environment that greatly inspires me, motivates my students, and values the support of their families
Pre-Kindergarten (PK)
Our Pre-Kindergarten (PK) program is thoughtfully designed for children ages 3 to 4, offering both half-day and full-day options. Core academics take place in the morning, focusing on early literacy and foundational math skills.
Full-day students enjoy enriching afternoon "specials" such as hands-on science, art, music, and physical education, followed by a brief rest period before dismissal. This well-rounded program sets the stage for a lifelong love of learning in a nurturing and engaging environment.
