What is Pre-K?

Pre-K is a fun place to come learn and play!

During the day at Pre-K the children learn their: alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, self-help skills, and socialization. The children also experiment with different medium during Art and Science. During Art the children are encouraged to visit the painting easel. At the easel they develop large and small muscle skills. They are also given a chance to use their imaginations and be creative. At the Science table the children are given the opportunity to experiment with magnets, color mixing, floating, sinking, and chemical reactions, such as observing the eruption of a child-made volcano.

We have the opportunity to use the playground for physical activity. This is a good way to develop those larger muscles.

Please note - because of the popularity of these programs families are selected for enrollment by using a lottery system.
