Crowden Kindergarten offers a rich academic start, powered by music.
Crowden’s Kindergarten provides a nurturing, creative bridge from preschool to academics—infused with the brain-boosting, confidence-building benefits of daily music and movement. Our program helps children build focus, language skills, emotional intelligence, and curiosity.

In general, we adhere to the state of California cut-off of September 1st. However, as an independent private school, we have the ability to remain flexible, particularly with children whose birthdays are within a few weeks of the cutoff date. Apply, go through the process, we will have an honest conversation either way about your child’s readiness for kindergarten.
