4-Year-Old Class

Our Four-Year-Old Program prepares children for the transition to Pre-K and Kindergarten by strengthening academic readiness, independence, and confidence while maintaining a joyful, engaging learning environment. Our Four-Year-Old curriculum follows Letterland and is enriched with Experience Early Learning and Learning Without Tears to strengthen literacy, writing, and math skills.

 

Students engage in deeper exploration of numbers, early problem-solving, and thematic social studies and science units that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and independence. Sight word identification is introduced in March.
