The instructional elements and activities in a Trestle designed kindergarten curriculum include multiple intelligence learning opportunities for different kinds of learners.

Whether we're developing a new phonics workshop or vocabulary enrichment program, ESL linking materials, a leveled e-reader storybook library or a series of in-class or at-home practice workbooks, all the features of a Trestle education program embrace the learning potential of a broad range of students by combining:
