Program Spotlight: Junior Kindergarten

Junior Kindergarten (JK) is specifically designed

for the older 4 year old/younger 5 year old student.

JK is available until 11:10am
JK Extended until 1:15pm
Preschool Enrichment can be added from 7am - 6pm

The Junior Kindergarten (JK) program introduces journaling and as the year progresses, journaling evolves from child-dictated sentences to child-written sentences. Our JK students are encouraged to use inventive spelling and continue to manipulate print as they sign-in daily, label projects, create graphs and add to class messages. Children also practice increasingly sophisticated applications of math concepts and are introduced to simple addition and the concepts of greater than and less than. This program also continues our daily Spanish lessons. JK Extended builds on the social, physical and academic skills of the day with additional time to foster friendships and work on special theme-related projects. JK Extended students enjoy lunch together each day (a hot lunch is provided, or children may opt to pack a nut-free lunch) and have an additional recess in the afternoon.

The talented Maggie LaBillois inspires creativity in GPS children in the most magical ways! As our Art Specialist, Mrs. LaBillois creates the annual Golden Pond School Art Show and teaches the special art lessons for each program. She always goes above and beyond for GPS and has worn her beekeeper outfit to school to teach about her bees and even brought her horse and daughter to GPS for a special event for our students.

“It is such a thrill when I introduce famous artists and explore different artistic techniques with the children.”

"Golden Pond is the best in this area!! We looked at so many preschools before deciding on GPS for our daughter (and later our son) - one of the best decisions we ever made for her and our other kids. As soon as we walked in the building, we fell in love with the warm and interactive atmosphere, from the front desk all the way to the classrooms. We also love their brain-based/interactive learning method, and how it really built our kids love of school. That was one of the things we wanted most out of preschool. We have been a Golden Pond family since 2013, and going...!"
