Pre-K, 4's

Pre-K Fours

The Pre-K program engages students in learning opportunities that promote kindergarten readiness, such as cooperation, communication, and active learning. Children focus on concepts such as number recognition, identification of both upper and lower-case letters, the relationship between sounds and written symbols, recognition of child’s name in print as well as many common sight words

• We use a combination of the Creative Curriculum and Fundations.
• Small and large group learning opportunities that develop social skills and positive self-esteem and foster kindness
• A language-rich environment that promotes reading, writing, listening and speaking.
• Our classrooms are rich with Books, pictures, labels, writing stations, and other materials that support emergent literacy, science and art, math, puzzles and blocks, and dramatic play
• Our classrooms have many different manipulatives (small table toys) that help children learn about abstract concepts in concrete ways. These also help with Foundational math skills like counting and sorting or science skills like balance and weight.
• Classes have a science and discovery area where we bring nature into the classroom and explore natural elements in the world.
• Learning opportunities that encourage fine and gross motor development.
