Before they learn to write their name, they learn to believe in themselves.
Our Pre-K classroom is where early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills come together through joyful STEAM exploration. Children don’t just prepare for kindergarten here — they walk in confident, curious, and genuinely excited for what comes next.
We maintain small groups for personalized attention. Call to check availability.
Storyboard activities, sentence starters, phonemic awareness games, and daily read-aloud — building the foundation for reading in ways that feel like play.
Puppet-making, dramatic play, music, and movement — the 'A' in STEAM that builds creativity, confidence, and cognitive flexibility.
Simple addition and subtraction with manipulatives, patterns, measurement, and number sense to 20 — math concepts grounded in real, hands-on experience.
Kindness charts, emotion coaching, 'I-statement' practice, and calm-down corner strategies — building the self-regulation kindergarten teachers say matters most.
Hypothesis, experiment, observe, and share — the scientific process made joyful and accessible for 4-year-old minds.
Drop off from 7:00 AM and pick up until 6:00 PM — flexible options to fit your family's schedule.
LIMITED PRE-K SPOTS — Small groups for kindergarten-ready skills.
practice line-walking, folder-carrying, and being the teacher's helper

between our Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers — under one roof
Our Pre-K program is specifically designed for children entering kindergarten the following year. It builds on preschool foundations with a stronger emphasis on academic readiness — letter and sound recognition, number sense, name writing — alongside social maturity and executive function skills.
Every child leaves feeling confident, curious, and genuinely ready for kindergarten — not just academically, but emotionally. We focus on: academic readiness (literacy and math), social readiness (collaboration, routines, conflict resolution), and emotional readiness (self-regulation, resilience, a positive attitude toward learning).
Through both explicit and embedded activities: phonemic awareness (rhyming games, sound matching), print awareness (interactive read-aloud, environmental print hunts), pre-writing (name tracing and journaling), and comprehension (story retelling, predicting, connecting to personal experience).
A blend of structure and choice: morning meeting and social-emotional check-in, small-group literacy and math rotations, project-based STEAM exploration, outdoor time (30 minutes, twice daily), quiet reading and writing centers, afternoon enrichment (science, art, or drama), and a closing reflection circle.
Yes. Drop off as early as 7:00 AM and pick up as late as 6:00 PM. We know your day doesn’t end when the school day does.
