Our Prekindergarten (Pre-k) provides care to children ages 4 and 5 years old. This classroom is setup to provide the children with kindergarten readiness skills they need to thrive in their academic endeavors. The Pre-k program assists the children in learning the fundamentals such as alphabet recognition, number recognition, name writing, and much more. The teachers continue to provide the children with experiences to help them learn about the world around them and encourage them to interact well with others. The teachers in our Pre-k classroom help the children build on their self-help skills, social experiences, fine and gross motor abilities and cognitive development.
Pre-Kindergarten Program
Four-year-olds continue building on the skills they learned in preschool, building layers of learning and knowledge through practice and novel opportunities – all provided by you as their trusted model and guide. Some concepts previously introduced become easily understood due to continued hands-on learning and repeated opportunities to learn and practice. Children’s development of language grows into more understanding of early reading and writing, in preparation for kindergarten. You as the teacher, learn how to introduce concepts in ways that make sense to the concrete mind of a pre-kindergartner. Through active learning and your supportive bond and scaffolding, pre-kindergartners build confidence, learn with their whole bodies, and thrive in a predictable, stable classroom environment where they can be independent and trusted learners.
