PRE-K
The TK is designed to completely educate your child about their next educational experience, Kindergarten. At the same time, we allow them to learn through play for one more year, with an emphasis on art, open ended activities, music, singing and imaginative play. We will teach Zoo phonics, printing skills, math, and what is expected when they go to kindergarten. Lt is a special class, with 20 children and 2 teachers, creating an intimate and special experience.
ALL DAY
Children have the option to stay with us all day, either by attending in the morning, then staying for a nap and play, or they can combine the morning and the Pre-K program together. In the nap room we have a small, intimate environment where children can rest or fall asleep. A snack is served after they get up, and then they join the Pre-K for a play time.
All day hours are
8 a.m. till 5 p.m.
We create a warm and nurturing environment for each child.
Thought open ended play based experiences children flourish, and grow to love their school, taking pride in belonging to a community.
Facilitated by a staff with 30 plus years’ experience with preschoolers, one teacher for every seven children, you will quickly relax and feel the warm, caring environment where your child will learn above all else that this is their school family. Come join us: we’ve been waiting for you….
