PROGRAMS OFFERED
Preschool/Transitional Kinder
The engaging hands-on Kindergarten readiness pathway is designed for four year olds, and young five year-olds who would benefit from an additional year of preschool before entering kindergarten. Our teachers encourage individual independence which ensures students will have a smooth transition into kindergarten. Activities and lesson plans are customized to each student, based on each child's needs. Students begin to develop good writing habits, strengthen their number sense, develop social and emotional skills, and gain foundational literacy skills, among other vital skills.

New information is introduced and reinforced through multi-sensory learning experiences that encourage discovery through playful exploration, teacher-guided investigations, questioning, direct instruction and discussion.

Hybrid Homeschool
The best of both worlds! Hybrid homeschooling is a flexible approach for 5-7 year olds (traditionally kindergarten and first grade) that combines traditional homeschooling and private school education. It involves a combination of attending class on campus, and completing tailored reinforcement and enrichment activities at home on satellite days, which creates cohesiveness in their homeschooling experience.
This reinvention of the one-room schoolhouse, comprised of a mixed-age level grouping, provides engaging lessons to strengthen core academic skills, along with empowering students to take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process.

The a la carte classes are designed to be educational and fun!
As with all classes, they are intentionally small to provide students more attention, create a more personable experience, provide guidance in areas of interest or need, as well as being a social outlet.

What our Kinder Pod parents are saying:
What our Kinder Pod parents are saying:
"Kinder Pod was the absolute best decision that I have made for my kindergartener. Due to the small class size, Jada was able to identify the needs of my child. She worked primarily with her to create my daughter's optimal learning environment. I have witnessed so much growth academically, and do not feel like my child is just 1 of 20 kids in a bigger school. The foundation that Jada has taught my daughter will ensure success when she enters elementary school next year. Also, the excitement from Jada about education really shines into the children she teaches and you can honestly see that this is a passion and not just a job. My daughter begs to go to Kinder Pod every single day. She is not only learning past kindergarten level, but she's having such a great time doing it. From a parent standpoint, Jada provides everything that an Elementary school has plus more!"
