PRE-KINDERGARTEN
4 days: Monday - Thursday
5 days: Monday - Friday*
9:00am to 12:00pm
Our 4 year old program prepares children with the skills they need to be successful in Kindergarten. Teachers use thematic units and learning centers, similar to kindergarten classrooms, to each the literacy, mathematics, science and social studies skills and vocabulary children will see again in Kindergarten. Activities are designed to broaden and enrich the child's vocabulary and knowledge base. Children learn classroom survival skills so they are ready to focus on learning. Our goal is to meet children at their current level and move them forward to the next level. Both the 4 day and 5 day program use the same curriculum; the extra day in the 5 day program allows the children to explore concepts in greater depth.
