Building confidence, skills, and independence.

Where Curiosity Meets Structure

Kindergarten at Trellis Academy blends the joy of early childhood with more structured academic learning. Students develop foundational skills in reading, writing, and math while growing in independence, responsibility, and confidence as learners. Instruction is engaging, supportive, and thoughtfully paced to encourage steady growth.

Students strengthen early literacy and numeracy skills through clear instruction and guided practice. Children learn to approach learning with confidence, curiosity, and persistence.

Students practice organization, responsibility, and focus as they complete tasks and participate in classroom routines. These habits support growing independence and readiness for future learning.

Children learn to listen, share ideas, ask questions, and participate respectfully in discussions. Classroom conversations encourage thinking, communication, and collaboration.

Kindergarten students follow Trellis Academy’s 5-day program schedule, providing daily consistency, strong classroom rhythm, and steady support as students build early academic and social foundations

Rae Klein is a second-generation teacher with a passion for creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences.

She studied at Bennington College before transferring to Texas A&M University at Galveston, where she focused on marine biology and fisheries.

Ms. Rae has a background in both Montessori and Reggio-inspired education. She believes strongly in giving students ownership of their studies and classroom environment, encouraging self-paced learning and allowing children to take an active role in their education.

She is also a firm believer that nature is one of the best teachers, and you’ll often find her taking learning beyond the classroom and teaching outside.

Ms. Rae loves science, nature, SCUBA diving, and cooking. When she’s not on the water, you’ll most likely find her digging in the dirt with her daughter.
