5–6 Years

The ultimate foundation for 1st grade.

Our Private Kindergarten program blends the research-backed power of The Creative Curriculum® with targeted, mastery-based instruction in reading and math. We don't just prepare students for 1st grade—we equip them with the critical thinking, independence, and unshakeable confidence to lead.

PrismPath™ Focus

Rigorous Academics. Joyful Discovery.

We believe that academic rigor and whole-child development are not mutually exclusive. By seamlessly integrating purposeful play with explicit, teacher-directed instruction, we cultivate a deep, enduring love of learning alongside tangible academic mastery.

  • Advanced Literacy: Phonics, decoding, and reading fluency.
  • Conceptual Math Mastery: Moving beyond rote memorization.
  • Executive Function: Building focus, self-regulation, and collaborative problem-solving.

An Elite Instructional Framework

Teachers use purposeful literacy and mathematics resources to strengthen each child’s foundation while keeping learning active and developmentally appropriate.

The Creative Curriculum®

Our core framework provides an immersive, standards-aligned exploration of science, social studies, and the arts through dynamic, project-based investigations.

Heggerty Phonemic Awareness

Explicit, systematic phonemic awareness training. Heggerty is a proven methodology that rapidly builds the decoding and blending skills necessary for fluent, confident early readers.

Math-U-See

A revolutionary, manipulative-based approach. Math-U-See shifts students from simple counting to true conceptual mastery, building deep mathematical confidence step-by-step.

Accreditation & Affordability

Recognized Excellence. Accessible to All.

Kindergarten Readiness

Our private Kindergarten experience supports early literacy, mathematics, classroom independence, and the routines children use as they prepare for first grade.

Promise Scholarships & SSOs

Chroma accepts the Georgia Promise Scholarship and partners with multiple Student Scholarship Organizations (SSOs) to help eligible families access private kindergarten.

Kindergarten Daily Rhythm

Morning Meeting & Literacy Block

We start with social-emotional connections, transitioning directly into dynamic, teacher-led Heggerty exercises to explicitly build phonemic awareness and decoding skills.

Math-U-See & Guided Centers

Targeted exploration of mathematical logic using Math-U-See manipulatives, followed by independent reading, writing, and collaborative learning centers.

Project-Based Learning

Applying The Creative Curriculum® through deep scientific investigations, artistic expression, and social studies projects that challenge students to think critically.

What families can expect

Kindergarten is supported by more than a schedule.

The daily experience is built around relationships, thoughtful routines, and developmentally appropriate support so children can feel known, safe, and ready for what comes next.
