Our work-play Pre-Kindergarten course focuses on readiness skills, with hands-on activities and manipulative that prepare our children for an academic Kindergarten.

  Our children develops readiness for reading through vocabulary-building activities and exercises designed to stimulate visual and auditory discrimination. Discussions and storytelling invite him/her to explore the seasons, senses, community workers, national heroes, and family, as well as growth and change. Our students also learns to associate ideas, build logical sequences, and strengthen comprehension and memory skills.

  Math activities prepare our child to enter Kindergarten able to recognize and write the numbers 1 through 10. He/she will also gain a basic math vocabulary and is introduced to simple measurements, and the concept of patterns.

  Overall, we will enjoy a year of guided, fun developmental activities as we work together to awaken a love of learning.
