Pre-Kindergarten (4 year olds turning 5)—offering 5 half or full days

The Pre-Kindergarten uses the Little Treasures Curriculum, which is a challenging yet developmentally age appropriate full language arts curriculum that integrates aspects of math, science and social studies in their daily work. We also utilize Handwriting Without Tears for continued fine motor development and proper writing skills. We focus on one thematic unit weekly, with an academic emphasis on upper and lower case letters and their sounds, blends, sight words, numbers, pre-reading, math, science and investigative skills.

(All students must be of age by September 1st of that school year)
