One year after a successful launch of our full-day preschool program, we are excited to announce a full-day junior kindergarten program at Byron Center Christian School (BCCS), which is in addition to our current half-day class offering!

Junior kindergarten is a unique class designed for students not yet ready (or of age) for kindergarten. The class focuses on whole child development, with specific emphasis on fostering confidence and independence in young learners. Daily routines will blend aspects of preschool learning (play-based activities, centers, and hands-on learning) and kindergarten learning (specific writing skill development, math concepts, and co-curricular activities). Teachers will use a variety of instructional strategies in order to ensure all types of learners can be successful. The full-day class will also include lunch, rest time, specials classes, and lots of time outdoors. Outside the classroom, students will utilize active-play opportunities, our full gymnasium, our early education library, and the computer lab.

As in every grade at BCCS, faith will form the foundation of all instruction as teachers help students discover the unique gifts God has given them, and provide learning experiences that ensure lasting impact and opportunities for serving.
If you are interested in learning more about this new program (or any of the offerings here at BCCS), we are still offering personal campus tours. Visit www.bccs.org/junior-kindergarten or call us today at 878-3347 before classes fill!
