Kindergarten

what does kindergarten at FCA look like?

Kindergarten is a crucial step in your child’s educational journey! This year, they embark on a new learning adventure, mastering reading, writing, and math while cultivating essential social and emotional skills. However, the journey extends beyond academics! Your child delves into God’s world, fostering a deeper understanding of their faith.

As a parent, you want your child to love learning and feel safe at school. That is why at Faith Christian Academy, a private school located in Goldsboro, NC, we offer a kindergarten program that meets these needs. We help students succeed academically through personalized attention, and as a ministry of Faith Free Will Baptist Church we also work with families to strengthen Christian values.


 

program schedule

Our full-day kindergarten program is filled with hands-on learning experiences! The comprehensive curriculum keeps young learners engaged. Core subjects like American History, Math, Phonics, Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Writing are taught daily. We also offer special classes throughout the week, including Chapel, Art, Library, Music, and Computer Technology.

Let’s especially not forget about lunch and recess! After all, that is what most kindergarteners look forward to the most. Eating a nutritious lunch provides the energy students need to concentrate and it also fosters a sense of community. Playing at recess promotes motor skills, coordination, and overall physical health. In addition, engaging in active play stimulates brain development and helps improve creativity.

To ensure a well-rounded learning experience, we incorporate a restful period mid-day. This quiet time allows young students to recharge their minds and bodies which promotes focus and alertness. By providing a brief moment of relaxation, we help students stay energized and engaged throughout the day.

Learning environment

Whether your child attends Pre-K or is stepping into their first school experience, our kindergarten teachers meet them where they are and provide the personalized attention they need to thrive. We know you are looking for a school where your child is known, mentored, and loved. FCA families find that our school feels like an extension of the home, and provides their children with:

  • Care and support. We keep our kindergarten class sizes small to ensure out teachers can provide personalized attention. This allows them to tailor their instruction to meet each student’s individual needs.
  • Exciting learning opportunities. Through everything from hands-on projects to fun field trips, kindergarteners develop an authentic love for learning.
  • Alignment between home and school. We communicate with families weekly and encourage involvement, which is more important than ever in kindergarten!
  • A foundation for lifelong success. Character, values, patriotism, and the desire to know and serve Jesus are interwoven throughout our curriculum.

“After attending FCA for K5, both of our kids were definitely prepared to enter first grade. Not only did their reading greatly improve, but their mathematical and spelling skills blew my mind. My husband and I were amazed daily at the new things our kids were learning, as were their grandparents! The instruction time is unmatched. We have truly been blessed with the best teachers in K5, 1st, and now 2nd grade at FCA.”
