Early Education That Multiplies Potential

PRIMARY GRADES | PRE-K TO 2

 

Learning to love learning is one of the most important lessons we teach. Our rich curriculum inspires our youngest students to reach beyond academic milestones to cultivate true curiosity. Developing that exploratory mindset involves exposure to experiential learning, language, structured playtime, and visual and performing arts.
Our passionate teachers and teaching assistants are trained in the Orton-Gillingham Classroom Education model. They nurture inquisitive minds based on trusted developmental neuroscience with multisensory techniques like syllable tapping and cursive writing in sand.
Every day starts with a community-building Morning Meeting with all pre-K to second-grade students and teachers. Learning unfolds according to 8-day rotations that integrate a range of subjects, making use of in-classroom iPads, our MakerSpace and the library. And play is powerful, too, so daily recess serves as an outlet for energy.

 

8-Day Rotations Include:
2-4 sessions each of Spanish, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Library time
One Character Education session focused on this vital element of the Darlington experience
Exploratory sessions to broaden little horizons
Fully integrated STEM activities and a MakerSpace

Musical Programs:
Annual class musical in which each student has a confidence-building speaking role
Second-grade spring semester String Class
