Kirby provides a developmentally rich and socially responsible environment supported by a specially trained and caring staff who help children develop strong skills, healthy habits, and physical, social and emotional confidence.
Discover Kirby Kindergarten. As the elementary curriculum in our excellent local schools become increasingly rigorous, foundations must be laid early to prepare children to tackle the more complex, integrated learning. District teachers regularly comment that Kirby kids consistently stand out and arrive at school ready to work and to learn. Give your child that advantage.
Before- and after-school programs are available for families who are looking for a character building experience that expands on schools' academic curriculum. Kirby offers before- and after-school programs that begin as early as 7 a.m. and extend until 6:45 p.m. to engage children outside of school hours.
Camp Wantago is Kirby’s summer day camp. With field trips twice per week, fun activities, games, time for learning and building friendships, the 10 weeks of Camp Wantago are filled with excitement! Every week has a new and exciting theme and our emphasis on S.T.E.A.M. activities ensures that children stay sharp and keep learning through the summer.
