Champion Baptist Kindergarten Program (LFBC): Traditional Academic Approach

Champion Baptist Kindergarten Program is a traditional, academically-focused multi-subject curriculum that covers phonics/reading, writing, math, and Bible as foundational subjects, with brief activities for science, history, health, and fine arts. The program provides structured daily lesson plans with step-by-step instructions and is designed to be more academic than many kindergarten programs.
