K4 Program Highlights (Early Kindergarten in Tehachapi)

Whether you are a working parent and need a school option for your 4 year old or you are a parent who desires an early social setting for your child, Heritage Oak offers four year old kindergarten classes with flexible half‐ and full‐day options. Our small intimate setting allows for a truly personal and caring experience that is well balanced for optimal student growth, emotionally and spiritually as well as academically.

Emphasis in the K4 classroom focuses on building healthy relationships and confidence, following directions, establishing routines, developing fine motor skills, as well as an introduction into the alphabet, math, memory work, discovery-based and hands‐on‐learning. And of course, plenty of fun! These are hallmarks of the Heritage Oak K4 experience. We highly encourage all families to sign up for a tour to see our K4 program first hand to experience the joy and excitement that awaits your child!
