The Kindergarten Experience

Our Central York Elementary Schools offer a nurturing and interactive educational program for all students. The child-centered experience emphasizes the development of a love for learning with academic skills, as well as social and emotional development. 

Central York School District is proud to implement a One to One Program that provides a learning device to support our student learning and engagement at every grade level. Your Kindergartner will have access to their own iPad while at school. 

Our Kindergarten students will explore core academics in areas such as math, social studies, science, reading, and writing, as well as music, art, library and physical education specials. Our school Counselors also play a role in our educational program with focuses on creating a positive learning environment, peaceful problem solving skills, and more. 

At the beginning of the school year, Kindegartners will receive their school t-shirts. They proudly display our elementary school character development program models of Hayshire P.O.W.E.R, Roundtown P.R.O.U.D., or Stony Brook R.O.A.R.
