At Mary, Mother of God Kindergarten Enrichment
we strive to provide children and families of all faiths with a quality program that is rich in academic, play and faith-based activities. 

The program is designed to enhance each kindergartner’s school experience with a balanced curriculum that is organized into themes, seasons, and holidays. This also includes religion, science, reading, writing, math, music, and creative arts.

Children learn best through play and social interaction. We provide hands-on, interactive learning to promote social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Our small class size allows us to work independently with students, giving each student an opportunity to excel at his or her own pace while working toward their maximum potential. 

Our classroom sets the tone for learning with a well maintained and spacious area, developmentally appropriate materials, and a warm and welcoming staff.
Our priority is to create an environment where students can explore, thrive, and develop a positive self-image. 

Our classroom is a place that provides comfort and feels like home and Mary, Mother of God Kindergarten Enrichment wants our families to feel a part of our school family.
