ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Kindergarten is much more academic than it used to be, and many children arrive unprepared. High-quality Pre-K is essential to getting kids ready for what’s next. Our Pre-K builds on earlier learning to advance literacy, vocabulary, math, problem-solving, and fine and gross motor skills. Independent and cooperative learning — guided by skilled, nurturing teachers — strengthens the social skills kids need to walk into kindergarten with confidence.
