All About Pre K!

  • Curriculum

    Our Pre K class utilizes a faith-based kindergarten curriculum to ensure they have all of the necessary skills to succeed in kindergarten. Their curriculum includes subjects such as Bible study, math, phonics, handwriting, literacy, motor skills, and more.

  • Logistics

    All students in Pre K must be 4 by September 1st of the current school year. Pre K’s weekly tuition rate is $160/week. Children must be potty trained prior to starting Pre K, with accidents being very rare. The Pre K teachers conduct three assessments throughout the year to assess academic and social skills to ensure kindergarten readiness.

  • Structure

    Our Pre K daily schedule is designed very carefully to include adequate time for all lessons, while also acknowledging the developmental needs of 4 and 5 year olds. Exploration and play are encouraged, and outdoor time is emphasized throughout the daily schedule. Pre K is a screen-free class and will rarely incorporate any screens into regular lessons.
