What To Expect

Our Kindergarten program is an accredited by the PA Dept of Education offered for children who turn 5 years old no later than 9/30 (school district cut off is 9/1).  Pennsylvania law requires 450 hours of instruction for kindergarten students.  Great Beginnings Kindergarten program offers 477 hours of instruction due to the 3 hour per session structure.   Therefore, some extra hours are built in for snow days.  If snow days are not used, the calendar remains the same with the extra hours.  We provide the following Special Instruction subjects to our kindergarten class:
