Kindergarten Program in Las Vegas
Private Kindergarten Las Vegas | Ages 5–6
Kindergarten at Candil Hall Academy is all about setting the stage for a lifelong love of learning. As a leading private kindergarten in Las Vegas, we combine hands-on activities with structured lessons to provide a nurturing environment where young minds can thrive. Our approach helps every child feel confident, curious, and well-prepared for the academic journey ahead.
Reading & Phonics – Building Early Literacy
Using Saxon Phonics, students are introduced to letter sounds, blending, and word formation. Our phonics curriculum strengthens foundational literacy skills through:
- Daily story time
- Interactive letter recognition
- Word-building activities
- Reading comprehension development
By using age-appropriate books and storytelling, children grow their vocabulary, focus, and love for reading — essential for success in elementary school.
Math with Saxon Math K
Our hands-on math curriculum uses Saxon Math K to introduce children to core mathematical concepts in a fun and accessible way. Students begin learning counting, addition, and subtraction, while also developing number recognition and an understanding of sequencing. As they progress, they explore patterns, make comparisons, and engage with early measurement activities. Using tactile tools like counting blocks and number lines, children build a natural connection between math and everyday life. This foundational approach strengthens their problem-solving abilities and sets the stage for logical thinking in later grades.
Language Arts & Writing
Students begin learning the D’Nealian method of writing, which encourages smooth, curved strokes that support fine motor skills and future cursive writing. Paired with Shurley English, students also develop:
- Sentence structure
- Grammar and punctuation
- Early writing fluency
These foundational writing skills help students confidently express themselves through words and short sentences.
Science & Social Studies
Our Kindergarten science curriculum, powered by Mystery Science, introduces key concepts through hands-on exploration. Students investigate topics such as weather observation, animal habitats, plant growth, and basic earth science. These interactive experiences nurture curiosity and lay the foundation for scientific thinking. In social studies, children learn about their local community, family roles, cooperation, and citizenship. These early lessons help students understand their place in the world while fostering empathy, social awareness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
Social Skills & Classroom Routines
Kindergarten is a critical year for building strong social-emotional skills. At Candil Hall:
- Students learn to follow classroom routines
- Practice working in groups and independently
- Build friendships through communication and sharing
- Gain confidence in a structured, supportive environment
These social skills prepare children for success in elementary grades and beyond.
