Registration for the 2011-2012 school year begins February 15, 2011.
Your four year old child’s natural desire to learn and increasing need to develop friendships will bloom and grow in our pre-kindergarten class. Our family-oriented group setting allows for many individual and group relationships that often involve parents, and entire families, as well as our own preschool children.
Fun and appropriate pre-kindergarten activities provide individual preparation for school by offering choices in degree of creativity and amount of time spent on each activity. Goals for the pre-kindergarten class are oriented towards enhancing developmental skills which will build on readiness for the kindergarten experience.
Your four-year-old child will begin to function more independently in a group setting and will expand social and learning skills in anticipation for success in school.
