Kindergarten
The St. Odilia kindergarten program strives to provide a developmentally appropriate, hands-on, enjoyable school experience that encourages each child to demonstrate his or her abilities, feel successful, and have a positive start to the school year. There is one all-day and two half-day kindergarten classes. The average kindergarten student-to-teacher ratio is 20 to 1. Two part-time assistants help the teachers in their classrooms, and eighth-grade buddies participate in special projects with the kindergartners throughout the year.
