Our Pre-Kindergarten program for 5- and 6-year-olds is a dynamic, engaging, and skill-building experience designed to bridge the gap between early childhood and elementary school. At this critical stage, we focus on preparing children academically, socially, and emotionally for kindergarten while nurturing their natural curiosity, confidence, and love of learning.
Academic Readiness
Our curriculum is aligned with early learning standards and introduces foundational concepts through hands-on, interactive activities:
- Language & Literacy: Children build strong pre-reading and writing skills through phonics, sight word recognition, journaling, and storytelling. They learn to express ideas clearly, expand vocabulary, and develop print awareness.
- Mathematics: Students explore number sense, basic addition and subtraction, patterns, measurement, and problem-solving through manipulatives, games, and real-life applications.
- Science & Discovery: Simple experiments and nature-based investigations spark curiosity and teach observation, prediction, and critical thinking skills.
- Social Studies: Children explore community, culture, and family while learning about rules, responsibilities, and working together.
Enrichment and Development
We support well-rounded growth with a variety of enrichment experiences:
- Art & Music: Creativity flourishes through painting, drawing, collage, rhythm, and singing.
- Physical Development: Daily movement, outdoor play, and structured physical activities improve coordination, strength, and teamwork.
- Social-Emotional Learning: Through guided activities and classroom interactions, children develop empathy, emotional regulation, independence, and the ability to work cooperatively with others.

Kindergarten Readiness Focus
As they prepare for elementary school, Pre-K students practice classroom routines such as raising hands, following directions, working in groups, and completing multi-step tasks. Teachers provide individualized support to meet each child’s needs, ensuring they are confident and capable when they transition to kindergarten.
Our Pre-K program lays a strong academic and emotional foundation, empowering children to take on new challenges, build lasting friendships, and approach learning with enthusiasm and resilience.
