Pre-Kindergarten
Classroom
Our Pre-K classroom is at our 1:10 ratio, all children will enter this classroom the year before entering Kindergarten. Your child will get dropped off in their Pre-K class where they will have their own large cubby to place any of their belongings. The Pre-K class has a full curriculum where they have certain milestones we focus on during the school year. We evaluate each Pre-K child three times per year to track their progress and make sure they are on track to enter Kindergarten. The children will have worked on tracing in Preschool but will continue to grow on that and add in writing without needing to trace. They also work on simple math, counting, shapes, colors matching, beginning and end sounds of words, letter sounds and more!
