We are happy to extend a warm welcome to your child in the Verona Public Schools' kindergarten program. Kindergarten is an essential milestone in your child's educational journey, and we are excited to be a part of this important chapter.
Our kindergarten program is designed to provide a solid foundation for your child's academic and social development. During the school day, we offer a comprehensive curriculum that includes media skills, formal art, music, and physical education. It's a time for learning, forming new friendships, collaborating in groups, and acquiring fundamental academic skills.
