At KF, Pre-K3 through Kindergarten students learn through play, exploration, and discovery in a supportive, individualized environment. Guided by the International Baccalaureate® Primary Years Program, they develop as creative, confident thinkers with curiosity and a global perspective.
Learning at KFS
The Learning Environment
Safe, sanitary and aesthetically pleasing, our preschool’s indoor and outdoor learning environments encourage distinctive types of play and promote development in all areas.
Indoors
Indoor learning areas are flexible, supporting both practical needs and children’s changing interests, with materials that promote hands-on learning all day. Outdoors, children can run on grassy fields, climb on developmentally appropriate playgrounds, and swim during the appropriate seasons.
Our Staff
In every Pre-K3 classroom, a lead teacher and assistant guide learning, while in Pre-K4 and Kindergarten, lead teachers share assistants. Small class sizes allow for hands-on, individualized attention, and our degreed, certified teachers—many pursuing master’s degrees—create classrooms that thrive as supportive learning communities.
Daily
Curriculum
We believe a consistent daily routine supports active learning and builds on children’s interests. Through active learning, children construct knowledge through immediate hands-on experiences that are supported by adults.
The daily routine is broken up into:
- Both small and large group meetings
- “Choice time” when the children interact in play-based centers
- Snack and lunch times
- Read-aloud times
- Outdoor play
- Music and movement
- Rest time
During all of these learning experiences, children are immersed in reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, science and technology.
In alignment with the IB framework, the children are also exposed to Music and Movement, Spanish Language Acquisition, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), Physical Education and Health, and the Arts, one to two times each week.
