Pre-Kindergarten

Pre-K is the stepping-stone into Kindergarten. This may be the first time your child has come to school, or it is a step up from preschool. It is our goal to provide an active learning environment where your child can feel successful. Pre-K is such a wonderful year for children, when they embrace all new things in the classroom and begin to feel empowered as a learner!

In addition to Pre-K we also offer a Pre-K(K) option for children who are age appropriate for Kindergarten, but developmentally need another year of “readiness” before going forward into formal education. This program operates within our Pre-K classroom.

We Offer:

Thematic learning
Hands-on learning centers
Small group, whole group learning
Outdoor play
Individualized learning
Individualized portfolio assessment

Our Focus Areas Are:

Early literacy
Basic math skills
Science exploration
Fine motor/large motor skills
Art & music fun
Socialization with peers

We take pride in making the learning process fun and exciting for each child and work to make the Pre-K school year one in which every child feels confident and ready to transition into the Pre-Kindergarten year.
