Students will learn about size, color, and shapes, numbers, reading readiness, following directions and time, while developing social-emotional and listening skills. Teachers will explore the alphabet, addresses, phone numbers and name writing with your child. Classes are designed to prepare children who enter kindergarten in the fall of 2020.  A graduation celebration will be held at the end of the school year.  Parents are encouraged to help 1-2 times a month in the preschool programs.

Socialization and learning through play will fill your child’s day. Students are exposed to creative art expression, singing and rhythm activities, body movement, stories, free play, name recognition, fine motor skills, and activities related to every day math, science, and language discovery.  This class is a great opportunity for your child to get ready for Pre-Kindergarten.  Parents are encouraged to help 1-2 times a month in the preschool programs.
