About KG

The ABS Kindergarten is dedicated to the glory of God and exists to help children grow spiritually, emotionally, physically, and academically. We have high expectations of our children and want them to excel in everything they do in life.

"I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all my go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well", (3 John 1:2). We recognize that each child is an individual and we encourage all of our children to develop at their own pace. There is a strong emphasis on learning through play and practical activities.

Parental involvement is critical to the success of every child in our school; our efforts won't bear fruit unless they are supported and reinforced at home. This parental support means that you, as a parent, must see to it that your child gets adequate sleep and nutrition and arrives at school on time each day. It means encouraging your child to read the books he or she takes from the library. It also means taking some time in the afternoon to sit with your child, to talk to him/her, to play with him/her, and to review the worksheets they took in class that day.

Medical Matters Policy

If your child is ill, please keep him/her at home. An ill child can recover faster with plenty of rest. Moreover, he/she will not cause other children to become ill if the illness is contagious. Proper medical care is provided by the school doctor for children in case of emergency or sudden illness. Parents will be requested to take their children home according to the doctor's instructions.
