Learning is Joyful in ECP’s Kindergarten

By September 23, 2025No Comments3 min read

“When teachers ensure that each child has a joyful Kindergarten year, they foster each child’s positive identity as a curious and capable learner.”

National Association for the Education of Young Children

At Empower College Prep, the tuition-free K-12 public charter school, we provide a joyful learning experience for every scholar beginning on the first day of Kindergarten.

It’s Fun to Learn!

At ECP, our Kindergarten teachers make learning fun. Plus, these youngest scholars are developing the important future-ready skills of creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and empathy. Our Kindergartners are:

  • developing early literacy skills using a variety of techniques and targeted small groups.
  • expanding their knowledge of math using Eureka math.
  • growing with co-curriculars including art, music, technology, and science.

Kindergarten is the Foundation of Academic Success

A Harvard University study found that a strong Kindergarten education significantly impacts an individual’s academic success and overall life achievements. 

“My son started at this school in Kindergarten and could not read or recognize many letter sounds, despite many efforts from my wife and me in his early years. Three years later, he scored Highly Proficient on the state test and was determined to no longer need an IEP. He loves school, has genuine and close friendships, and is learning both academic and life skills every day. My wife and I highly recommend Empower College Prep!!!

Since our founding in 2012, Empower College Prep has been preparing even our youngest learners to attend college. Because we set the goal of college attendance early, our Kindergarteners are taking the first step on the path towards a productive college experience and successful career. A few spots are still available in this year’s Kindergarten. Enroll today for a joyful learning experience. We’ll make the transition easy.
