Preschool and Pre-kindergarten
Preschool and Pre-K students can begin their school day spending their first 30 minutes eating breakfast and their remaining time with table activities designed to develop fine motor skills and concentration. There’s plenty of caring, one-to-one attention from teachers, and a special emphasis on helping our youngest students develop social skills.
The afternoon extended day program includes quiet table activities and games, outdoor fun and physical education, and a daily craft project; it ends on an entertaining note with stories, dramatic play, movement and music.
