The K5 Class

5Our Kindergarten teachers meet with each family individually before school starts to determine where to begin with each child. The curriculum is based on Kindergarten Common Core Standards. Children participate in academic work in the mornings followed by special classes in the afternoon. They enjoy Spanish, physical education, chapel and music as well as visits to the computer lab and the church library.

The goal for Kindergarten is for each child to be confident in his/her learning.

Jesse Duprel

Jesse grew up in Nashville, TN and graduated from the University of Georgia with a BS in Psychology. She moved to Greenville in 2017 with her husband Alex and their two children, Tyler (16) and Emma (12). Jesse has almost 15 years of experience in early childhood education, including 3 years as a substitute at Aldersgate. While she has loved spending time in all of the classrooms, she is very excited to have found a home in K4 this year. In what little free time isn’t consumed by her kids’ sports (baseball and competitive gymnastics), Jesse likes to read and bake.
