Pre-K & School Readiness Program
Ages: 4 – 5 Years
Our Pre-K program is dedicated to ensuring every child walks into Kindergarten with confidence. We combine a rigorous, award-winning curriculum with a nurturing environment to master the academic, social, and emotional skills needed for elementary school success.
The Final Step Before Kindergarten
Pre-K is a pivotal year. Our classrooms are designed to look and feel more like a “big kid” school setting, helping children transition from play-based discovery to more structured learning.
We provide a balance of independent exploration and teacher-led instruction. This environment encourages students to take responsibility for their belongings, manage their time, and interact respectfully with peers—skills that are just as important as knowing their ABCs.
Routines That Foster Independence
In Pre-K, our routines are designed to lengthen attention spans and build self-regulation. We gradually introduce the structure they will encounter in Kindergarten.
Daily experiences often include:
Morning Meeting: Discussing the day’s schedule and assigning classroom “jobs.”
Small Group Work: Focused time on math or literacy with a teacher.
Writing Workshops: Practicing grip, letter formation, and writing their names.
Active Play: Recess and gross motor activities to keep energy balanced.
Quiet Time: Developing the ability to rest and reset for the afternoon.
These routines help children develop the patience and focus required for a successful school career.
Award-Winning School Readiness
We take pride in our track record of preparing students for local schools. Our curriculum is specifically focused on developmental milestones that Kindergarten teachers look for.
This stage supports:
Fine Motor Skills: Using scissors, holding pencils correctly, and manipulating small objects.
Literacy & Phonics: Recognizing sight words, letter sounds, and rhyming.
Math Concepts: Simple addition, pattern recognition, and number sense.
Problem Solving: Logical thinking and following multi-step instructions.
Our leadership has received multiple awards for preparing students to be Kindergarten-ready, ensuring your child leaves us fully prepared for the next step.
