Pre-Kindergarten

Pre-Kindergarten Class

This classroom is for children in their younger fours.

Our pre-kindergarten program is intended to develop children’s knowledge, skills, and abilities in all developmental areas and to establish a foundation for lifelong learning. We believe that every child is an active learner who builds meaning and understanding through full involvement in his/her learning environment. This child-centered program combines high expectations for each child with respect for individual development.

Our Pre-Kindergarten programs contain everything your child will need to be ready and successful in Kindergarten. Our goal is to foster a sense of independence and a “Can Do” attitude. We are always pushing them to stretch and grow and to improve and master new concepts. Valuable life skills such as Responsibility, Honesty, and the ability to share and cooperate with others will be introduced.
