Pre-K, or Pre-Kindergarten, is an educational program for children typically around four years old. It prepares them for kindergarten by introducing basic skills in language, math, and social interaction.

At what age should I enroll my child in Pre-K?

The starting age for Pre-Kindergarten varies across states, but it's usually at four years of age. Remember, the application process often begins a few months prior to the child reaching the eligible age, so it's important to plan ahead.

Do public schools have Pre-K?

Yes! Some public schools do offer Pre-K. These programs can be free for families who qualify, but details—like how many hours kids attend and the age cutoff—depend on where you live. Reach out to your local district to learn more.

Our comprehensive literacy curriculum provides an important educational foundation for each children. In our Threes classroom, children learn sight words, letter sounds, phonics, vowels, consonants, letter blends, and trigraphs (groups of three letters that make a sound, such as -sph- or -eau-). Outside of our centers, trigraphs are rarely taught before first grade. Our teachers encourage students to grow, learn and develop at their own pace. We do not use rote memorization, testing, or homework. Each student builds a base knowledge of literacy that will benefit them throughout their whole lives.
