About Our Kindergarten:
St. Joseph School offers a full-day kindergarten, Monday through Friday. The Archdiocesan approved kindergarten curriculum provides opportunities for academic, spiritual, physical, and social development. A typical day for a St. Joseph School kindergartner begins with prayer and a religion lesson. Students learn about Our Lord through stories, discussion, song and projects. The morning continues with math, a time for active exploration and workbook activity. The children then move on to penmanship and phonics lessons. After lunch, there is time for quiet music and rest. Afternoons include a reading lesson, story time and related story projects, and exploration through various learning centers. Reading lessons involve alphabet and word recognition skills, songs and poems, small group games and activities, and group reading. Some afternoons include science and art projects. Music, computer education, and physical education are also a part of the kindergarten curriculum.  Children must be 5 years of age by August 31st in order to register for kindergarten.

St. Joseph School is currently accepting applications for enrollment. Although we offer Catholic education, we accept students of all faiths. If you are interested, please contact Sue Bergman Principal, at (360) 748-0961, or make an appointment to visit.
