Exploring their Natural Curiosity

Our Kindergarten Programs are Designed to Prepare Children for Elementary School and Beyond

At Oakland Christian School, our Kindergarten programs are thoughtfully designed to prepare children academically, socially, and developmentally for elementary school and beyond. With small class sizes, experienced teachers, and engaging enrichment classes, we create an environment where young learners thrive and build a strong foundation for future success.

Kindergarten Programs:

• Junior Kindergarten -  Tailored for younger five-year-olds and advanced four-year-olds, this program provides a structured, nurturing environment where children develop essential pre-kindergarten skills. Students engage in hands-on learning, social development, and foundational academics to ensure they are kindergarten-ready. Families can choose between full-day and half-day options to best suit their child’s needs.
• Kindergarten - Our English and Spanish Immersion Kindergarten programs offer a structured, engaging curriculum designed to build confidence, independence, and early academic success. Children develop essential literacy, math, and problem-solving skills through interactive lessons and enrichment opportunities. A developmental observation ensures that each child is placed in the best learning environment. 
• Spanish Immersion Kindergarten - In our dual-language Spanish Immersion program, students become bilingual, bi-literate, and bicultural by learning in both Spanish and English. This immersive experience mirrors our English Kindergarten curriculum but is taught in Spanish, helping children develop strong cognitive skills, cultural awareness, and long-term language proficiency.

Preparing Young Learners for Academic Success in Kindergarten

Many now consider kindergarten the new first grade, as academic expectations for young learners continue to rise. At Oakland Christian School, we go beyond traditional kindergarten programs by providing a strong academic foundation while ensuring a smooth transition into formal education.

Our private kindergarten program is designed to equip children with essential early learning skills, blending rigorous academics with play-based learning, social development, and character formation. With small class sizes, experienced teachers, and a Christ-centered approach, we nurture the whole child—cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically—in a safe, supportive environment.

At OCS, we recognize that every child develops at their own pace. Our developmentally appropriate approach ensures that each student is placed in the best-fit program to become a confident, thriving learner. Whether in our English or Spanish Immersion Kindergarten, your child will gain the skills, independence, and foundational knowledge needed for long-term academic success.

The Lasting Impact of a High-Quality Kindergarten Education

Research shows that a strong kindergarten education can have lifelong benefits, shaping a child’s academic success, career opportunities, and personal development well into adulthood. Studies link engaged teachers, small class sizes, and structured learning environments to higher test scores, increased college attendance rates, and greater career earnings.

At Oakland Christian School, our private kindergarten program goes beyond academics to nurture cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development in a Christ-centered, supportive environment. By providing a comprehensive early education with experienced instructors, hands-on learning, and individualized attention, we equip young learners with the confidence and skills they need for a successful educational journey and beyond.
