The pre-kindergarteners are actively learning about our world and community. Our teachers place strong emphasis on cooperation, problem-solving and the joy of reading. Children participate in the learning process as they are encouraged to work together to explore areas of interest.
Teachers create a supportive, accepting environment and value both effort and achievement. The smaller group size allows for more hands-on exploration and discovery and individual teaching and learning.
Our Pre-Kindergarten program is literature based, with many opportunities for children to see and hear quality children's books. Creativity is shown through pre-writing experiences and exploration of art materials. Math and science is also learned through a variety of activities including experimentation, graphing and patterning.
