Kindergarten at Haltom Christian School provides foundational learning opportunities for all students. Nurturing teachers, a structured environment, and small class sizes allow us to personalize instruction and prepare each child to excel spiritually, academically, and socially. 

Our Kindergarten program encourages students to explore and develop interests leading them to become lifelong learners. 

Our Kindergarten curriculum uses research based and proven programs for reading groups, writer's workshop, and math stations that equip students to be confident and prepared for elementary school.
