|  | Starting in the 2012-2013 School Year, FOUNDATIONS at Woodlynde School will be our new full-day Kindergarten through 2nd Grade program. As its name suggests, FOUNDATIONS will provide students with a strong, research-based foundation in reading and mathematics in the most critical years of their educational career.
If you are concerned that your smart, creative child is not performing academically at his or her age-appropriate level, then they may need the specialized, early education program offered by FOUNDATIONS at Woodlynde School.
