Kindergarten

What makes kindergarten so unique at HBS? Our children learn through play. Creating stories, playing dress-up, and digging in the sand are helping your child develop and refine his or her ability to think creatively and work collaboratively. Learning social skills and fostering curiosity and wonder are the essential building blocks your child will gain in these early years of education.

Our five and six-year-old learners are encouraged to explore and navigate the world, a world which goes beyond the boundaries of the classroom.

A child’s day may entail a trip to the campus beehive to learn about pollinators, or a canned food drive to support a local food bank. Children will learn about shapes and objects, numbers and counting, writing, letters, and sounds. We build their enthusiasm and confidence in learning, while also instilling lifelong social skills, personal responsibility, and principles of citizenship.

For the 2018 – 2019 school year, we are streamlining the application and screening process for all new kindergarten students.

“...institutions and methods, in our own and other states, to discard whatever was useless or mischievous in the peculiar circumstances of our state and country and to make all that was excellent, so far as I could by pen and voice, the officer, and friend of popular education, whom by any agency or form of activity, I could reach. ”
