Our Pre-K Program is designed to ensure children are confident, capable, and Kindergarten-ready while continuing to foster curiosity and a love of learning.
Our Pre-K curriculum is grounded in Letterland and enhanced with Experience Early Learning and Learning Without Tears to ensure children are confident, capable, and Kindergarten-ready.

Monthly Social Studies and Science units dive deeper into exploring the world around us and building early inquiry and questioning skills.
