The Keys to Supporting Children to Flourish in Kindergarten

Five-year-olds are curious – they love to question, discover, and create. They learn best through direct experience with hands-on activities that involve their senses and trial-and-error. Problem-solving, decision-making, and free choices are essential components of their early education. Your five-year-old will experience all of these in fun play-based learning in science, art, math, music, and other lessons at King of Kings Preschool in Renton, Washington. We provide a joyful, loving environment where your child can build a spiritual frame of reference for living. Whether your five-year-old attended preschool, or kindergarten is their first structured learning environment, your child will learn while playing, developing friendships, and trying new things.
