PreKindergarten Program

(4-5 years old)

It’s their senior year of preschool! We get them ready for the years ahead.

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families in our community.

Writing the ABCs

In pre-K, your child will practice how to write their name—and you’ll start to see it all over their artwork! We’ll also work on our ABCs, using letters and drawings to describe things like people, places, experiences, and feelings.

Inside a prekindergartner’s day

Your preschooler’s classroom will follow a daily rhythm. No matter what play and learning activities they’re engaged in, preschoolers always come together for group time, to play outside, and to enjoy healthy meals with one another.

Group time

Group time happens every day in each of our our classrooms. For prekindergartners, teachers use this time to talk about the day or read a book before they move on to child-directed math, literacy, or small-group activities!

Meals and snacks

Every day, prekindergartners sit down to a meal with healthy fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. We never serve juice or fried foods!

Outdoor playtime

Most of our classes spend 20–30 minutes outside at least twice a day, weather permitting. In addition to unstructured playtime, prekindergartners will do things like draw maps together, stretch or play games!

What will your prekindergartner’s day look like?
