Kindergarten
A small-class experience focused on the whole child.
The Child’s Primary School (TCPS) in San Diego provides a consistent curriculum, beginning with the Kindergarten program.
We designed this success-oriented program to be engaging, supportive, and challenging. Our curriculum teaches students how to learn by first discovering how each student learns best, so they will develop a passion for lifelong learning that will continue throughout their years of formal schooling and beyond.
Why TCPS Kindergarten?
TCPS believes in the importance of providing young students with engagement, excitement, and challenge every day. An early introduction to this type of education, the way education should be, is vitally important in creating long lasting success and happiness in school for every child.
Students who graduate from college will normally attend school for a minimum of 17 years. Their introduction to Kindergarten and elementary school should ignite and begin to develop their passion for lifelong learning. Learning is fun and curious children love to learn!
