Growing in Kindergarten

Kindergarten is a new beginning for families. This transition certainly grows the child – learning new things, in a new school, with new teachers and classmates. But not only does he or she grow throughout Kindergarten academically and spiritually, but they also grow in height!

One Kindergartner, who will be in the WCGS class of 2026, already planted his tree this week!

Here at Wheaton Christian Grammar School, we love to partner with parents in the caring and raising of their children. It’s not always easy, there will be good times and hard times, but with the right care and support children (and trees) will grow into wonderful God-made creations.

“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.”  Ephesians 3:14-21
