Very pleased with the Kinder teachers (Miss Martinez & Miss Q) my daughter comes home very happy from school. Her vocabulary is so advance, she comes home and ask questions about history. She knows who the 1st presindent is and also nows about the current presindent and the white house (his home). I don't think I started learning history until 2nd or maybe 3rd grade. Keep in mind that was 30 years ago.
