Welcome to kindergarten! Kindergarten at NBAPS prides itself on welcoming every student as they begin their K-12 experience. Kindergarten and pre-school are the only grade levels housed at the North Branch Area Education Center. This configuration provides a smooth transition from preschool to kindergarten. Kindergarten at NBAPS provides a full-day experience centered on literacy and math, with a wide variety of learning opportunities, including Spanish, music, art, science enrichment, and phy-ed. Children who turn five-years-old on or before Sept. 1 are eligible for kindergarten.

Please see the presentation below to learn more, including what to expect, what supports exist for students, what a "day in the life" of a kindergartner looks like, how to enroll, and more!
