Kindergarten

Los Altos Christian School’s Kindergarten program builds on the strong foundation established in Transitional Kindergarten, offering a joyful, engaging, and academically rich full-day experience in a Christ-centered environment. Our Kindergarten students are encouraged to grow in confidence, curiosity, and character as they take meaningful steps in their academic journey.

Each child is known, supported, and challenged as they develop spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally.
