Preschool

Our specialized preschool curriculum uses rhymes, stories and hands-on activities to encourage those first steps toward building the foundational skills for reading, writing, math, and science.

Young Preschool

Our Young Preschool classroom (two- and three-year-olds) nurtures curiosity while building foundational skills for future learning. Children grow in language and early literacy, counting and math concepts, self-help skills like handwashing and toileting, and increasing autonomy. They build with blocks, create with playdough, and expand their physical play, all while developing gross and fine motor skills. Experienced teachers guide children with patience and consistency, helping them gain confidence, form friendships, and navigate a classroom community—alongside age-appropriate spiritual teaching.

Preschool

Our Preschool classroom (three- and four-year-olds) is where imagination takes flight and independence blossoms. Children build language and early literacy skills, math concepts, and independence with hand washing, toileting, and self-regulation, while developing gross and fine motor skills through blocks and real materials. With improved listening and communication, preschoolers engage in deeper conversations, cooperative play, and problem-solving—practicing responsibility and leadership through guided learning, alongside lessons in faith and character.

Pre-K 3

In our Pre-K 3 classroom, social development is a primary focus. Children practice sharing, helping, using manners, and expressing emotions with words. Teachers guide circle time, story time, and group activities to build patience, listening, and communication skills. Alongside social growth, children are introduced to pre-academic concepts such as writing, numbers, sensory play, art, and dramatic play. These experiences help prepare them for the more structured learning ahead.

Pre-K 4

Our Pre-K 4 program emphasizes kindergarten readiness while supporting each child’s individuality. Teachers plan lessons that build pre-reading, pre-math, and self-expression skills through structured yet engaging activities. Children practice social interaction, independence, and problem-solving as they prepare for school. With a strong focus on both academics and social development, this program lays the foundation for lifelong learning. By the end of Pre-K, children are confident, capable, and ready to thrive in kindergarten.
