Welcome to Pre-K: Where Small Steps Lead to Big Discoveries!
Pre-K is a magical year of "firsts." Our program is designed to spark wonder and cultivate a lifelong love of learning. We believe that for a child to learn, they must first feel safe, valued, and inspired. Through a balance of purposeful play and gentle structure, we help our youngest learners build the confidence they need to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond.
How We Learn
In Pre-K, play is our "work!" We use a hands-on curriculum that engages all five senses to build foundational skills.
Early Literacy: We play with sounds! Students begin recognizing their names in print, identifying letters, and developing "print awareness" through shared storytime and rhyming games.
Math Foundations: We explore the world of numbers through counting, sorting colorful manipulatives, recognizing patterns, and learning basic shapes.
Social-Emotional Growth: This is the heart of Pre-K. Children learn how to share, take turns, express their feelings with words, and build their very first friendships.
Fine & Gross Motor Skills: From "tummy time" art projects and scissor skills to running and jumping on the playground, we work on the physical strength needed for writing and play.
