Covenant Transitional Kindergarten

Covenant Kindergarten is for children who are mature 4 ½ year olds by October. If a child is 5 by September 1 after attending Covenant Transitional Kindergarten, they would be ready for first grade. If a child is a mature 4 ½ by October, they would be prepared for Kindergarten for the next year. The Texas State Standards for Kindergarten will be taught (Language Arts, Math, His- tory, Geography, Economics, Government, Science, Technology skills, Music, Art, Theater, and Physical Education). In addition, the daily curriculum will include Bible stories, Servant Leader- ship to develop character, World Missions, Spanish, Prayer and Worship. Instruction is differenti- ated to develop individual student skills and assist children to develop to their maximum poten- tial. Curriculum concepts are taught both at the teacher table and in small groups. Children re- ceive one-on-one instruction daily at the teacher table in Language Arts, Math, and Integrated curriculum.
