KINDERGARTEN GUIDELINES
The kindergarten year is a gift of time which enables the young child to experience the joy of being created and uniquely gifted by a loving Father.
Therefore, the Kindergarten Program in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia provides opportunities for:
1. growth in awareness of the Father's love as experienced in family, parish and community.
2. development of a positive self-image.
3. development of a social interdependence with adults and peers.
4. experiences which will enable the child to communicate effectively with others.
