Your prekindergartener is primed for early math, science exploration, and physical activity! We focus on developing their cognitive skills for math and science concepts while ensuring they engage in at least two hours of movement daily.

Prekindergartners learn to navigate conflicts through communication, either independently or with teacher guidance. We instill values of kindness and respect by encouraging discussions about themselves and their families, fostering an understanding and appreciation of each other's differences and similarities.

Children delve into storytelling with a focus on structure, from beginning to end! Writing becomes a form of self-expression, whether they're mastering their full name or starting with the first letter.

At this age, creativity flourishes! Children explore various art mediums to express themselves, follow multi-step instructions while moving, and engage in musical activities, inventing songs and playing instruments.
In our Pre-K programs, students delve into a world of exploration, collaboration, and discovery to expand their knowledge and skills.
We understand the importance of a smooth transition to elementary school, and our staff are here to support Pre-K families every step of the way. Directors offer guidance on local schools and assist parents in preparing their child for the transition.
Transition activities are seamlessly integrated into our Pre-K curriculum. From visits to local elementary schools to interactions with current Kindergarten teachers, we ensure that children feel comfortable and prepared for the next chapter of their education. We also provide resources to help parents advocate for their child’s unique needs as they transition to elementary school.
