Kindergarten Prep (Transitional Kindergarten)

Where a Love for Learning Begins

Our transitional kindergarten at Carlsbad Christian gets students ready for all aspects of school through play-based learning. We help 4- and 5-year-olds develop gross motor and fine motor skills through hands-on learning, practice social skills, build letter and number recognition, and our Christ-centered curriculum enriches young souls, too. Our program is full day, but prefer a half day? You can choose to pick your child up between noon and 12:30 p.m.

Highlights: 

• 🙏 Viewing God's full wonder through His beautiful creations – We recognize and celebrate God’s handiwork in nature, helping students see the world around them as a reflection of His love and creativity.

• 🌿 Learning is guided by curiosity – We nurture children’s natural sense of wonder by exploring the outdoors, asking questions, and letting their interests lead the way.

• ✋ Hands-on discoveries – From planting seeds to caring for animals, students engage in real-life experiences that bring science and nature to life.

• 🐛 Observation of life cycles – Whether we’re hatching butterflies or watching quail eggs grow, students learn through witnessing transformation and growth firsthand.

• 🥕 Connecting nature to daily life – We grow, harvest, and use ingredients from our garden to make simple foods and drinks, helping children see the value and purpose of what they grow.

• 🎨 Creative exploration with natural materials – Leaves, flowers, sticks, and stones become tools for building, storytelling, and art, encouraging imaginative expression and problem-solving.
