Pre-K Program
Our Pre-K program is designed to prepare children for a confident and successful transition to kindergarten. Through a balance of purposeful play, hands-on learning, and individualized instruction, children develop the academic, social, and emotional skills they need to thrive in elementary school and beyond.
With a maximum class size of 15 students, our teachers are able to provide personalized support while encouraging each child to reach their full potential. We foster independence, critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning in a nurturing classroom environment.
Children develop strong early literacy and writing skills through the Learning Without Tears® curriculum, while building confidence in letter formation, handwriting, and phonemic awareness. They are introduced to high-frequency sight words, early reading strategies, and foundational math concepts through engaging, hands-on activities. Each week, children create teacher-designed readers to proudly share with their families, reinforcing the skills they are learning in the classroom.
Our curriculum also includes exciting monthly themes that inspire creativity through art, science, literature, and dramatic play.
