Pre-Kindergarden Room

Children enter the preschool room after the three-year-old room and remain in the room until they start kindergarten.

The preschool room focuses on teaching children their letters, letter sounds, numbers and some basic writing. There is a specific letter and number that they focus on each week. They also follow the theme curriculum and do activities based on that. They have a center time each day where they talk about the calendar, review letters and numbers, and read stories.

There is a center time each day where the children can rotate around the room and participate in a variety of activities. When the weather permits, they go outside twice a day.

The preschoolers love doing art projects, which you can see proudly displayed around the room. They also love running around outside, often inventing their own games. The cost is $125 weekly. Back to rooms.
