PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Pre- K
(Ages 4-5)
The Pre-K Program provides a structured, academically rich environment designed to help children ages 4–5 transition smoothly into kindergarten. Teachers focus on building resilience, confidence, independence, and strong foundational skills in literacy, writing, math, STEM, and social-emotional development.
Children participate in longer group lessons, independent work cycles, partner activities, and center-based exploration. This helps them master kindergarten expectations while keeping learning fun, hands-on, and meaningful.
