At TKCU we believe that all students learn differently and that no child should be left behind if we are focused on nurturing and learning how each child becomes a confident and successful student. With small group sizes for each class, along with nurturing experienced teachers, we find curriculums that are standard-based to meet the needs of each of our students.
Your child doesn’t fit in a box.
Let’s educate them accordingly.

At this age, we focus on helping students learn the basics of the Gospel. We want them to learn who God is, how we can know Him through Jesus, and how we can talk with him through prayer and the Bible.

Students receive a basic introduction to the world of mathematics! We want our students to explore the relationships between numbers and help them to understand how math works. We utilize creative crafts, number stories, projects, and homework to help students understand the logic behind math and give them a solid foundation to excel in this discipline. Our goal is to train children who know how to think mathematically and are able to use math as an important tool in life.
We are using Math U See curriculum.

At The Kid Connection University, our Lower Elementary program teaches basic core subject classes through a biblical worldview. At this age, we focus on creating students who are confident learners growing in reading, writing, and critical thinking. At this age, we strive to connect how our education is tied to our worship of God.
