Our kindergarten program is for our students who are age five years old by September 1 of the current school year. In this program we follow a 1 teacher to 12 student ratio. Our maximum number of students for our opening kindergarten room will be 12 students.
While continuing to use the Arizona Early Learning Standards as our guide BBOV will teach children in the way they are meant to learn, through hands on experiences. We will have a balance of traditional academics and play based learning to ensure that students are prepared to move to the next level upon departing our kindergarten program. This program can also be funded through tax credit scholarship. We partner with Arizona School Tuition Organization for this. You can visit their website at www.acsto.com.
Our kindergarten program is from 8am-3pm. We offer extended care beginning at 7am and ending a 6pm. This service is billed at a per hour rate. Since your child is part of our kindergarten program, he or she will also have the opportunity to enroll in extracurricular programs during the extended childcare times following the school day. These activities are through outside programs, are only for preschool and prekindergarten students and have additional fees associated with them paid directly to the provider. These programs include Soccer Shots (soccershots.com), Early Learning Youth Sports (earlylearningyouthsports.com) and Webby (webbydancecompany.com). We are also working on recruiting additional options.
