Clay Student

 

The Carmel Clay Schools kindergarten program offers students a variety of developmentally appropriate and intellectually engaging learning experiences. We recognize that a number of factors contribute to a successful kindergarten experience, including:

  • language skills
  • an ability to solve problems and think creatively
  • social and emotional well-being
  • general knowledge about the world
  • physical health

Individual traits, life experiences, and personal growth blend to shape each child's distinct personality. Teachers and administrators acknowledge these differences, taking on the responsibility of designing a kindergarten program that caters to the developmental needs of every student.
