Our focus is to encourage fun while learning the foundational skills needed for success in future academic and life-long settings. Both of our programs help students become well-rounded students through the following:

• Play centered hands-on learning (literacy, math, science, and nutrition).
• Developing routines and become comfortable with classroom structures.
• Building positive relationships with other children and teachers.
• Building social, emotional, critical thinking, match and reading skills.
• Working independently and in groups to explore new ideas, question concepts and share their feelings.

9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (3-5 p.m. through childcare)

The Pre-K classroom follows the same curriculum concepts as our K-Prep classroom planning activities, incorporating student-centered instruction, developmentally appropriate practices, and culturally responsive teaching.
