At this level, children become engaged learners and we utilize circle time to explore. Three-year-olds are introduced to numbers and counting, as well as language and literacy.
Pre-Kindergarten Class (Ratio 2:16)
Children must be 4 years old by September 1 Pre-Kindergarten is an exciting time, filled with personal growth, curiosity and independence. We harness and define children’s longer attention spans by adding appropriate structure to their day. Each class will participate in small group time and focus on the key components: creative representation, language and literacy, number, counting and social/ emotional development.
The children will gain letter and sound recognition for each alphabet letter. Children will become better problem solvers through hands on experiences. It is our goal to have our Pre-K students prepared for kindergarten.
