About the Programs

Both programs are designed to build kindergarten readiness skills.  Concepts such as letters, shapes, colors, numbers, and patterns are incorporated into various learning activities and projects throughout the year.  Children are given the opportunity to learn them when they are ready.  We continue to work on social skills and work habits as well as encouraging sharing and cooperative play with others.  Activities which encourage fine motor skill development (cutting, coloring, gluing etc.) are provided daily.  Other learning activities include games, physical education, art, music and pre-reading and writing developmental exercises.  The preschool teachers work closely with the kindergarten teachers throughout the school year to assure a smooth transition from preschool to kindergarten.

Registration begins at our Registration Open House in April.
