Pre-Kindergarten Program for 4 Year Olds

Monday through Friday from 8:45 am to 12:30 pm

Program Description

 Our curriculum is theme based, developmentally appropriate and child oriented with a focus on preparing your child for the Kindergarten experience. Our experienced teachers prepare a creative environment where each child is treated as an individual; they are helped to develop to their greatest potential and to fostering a love of learning.

This program offers a variety of experiences which promote social, emotional and intellectual growth in a combination of structured teacher directed activities and free choice activities.

Your child will develop Pre-Reading and writing skills with a combination of the Harcourt Brace Trophies Language Arts program and the use of Kid Writing while developing math readiness skills using the Everyday Math series.

Our class size is limited to 12 children with a teacher and an assistant.
