Preschool

Building upon the foundations laid in the Nido program, Parrish Country Day’s preschool curriculum embraces children’s expanding vocabulary and emerging cognitive abilities. At this stage, collaboration and communication emerge as central pillars of the learning experience, fostering intellectual curiosity and social engagement. Children participate in small peer groups to research, design, and execute projects, refining their ability to formulate hypotheses, conduct investigations, analyze findings, and draw meaningful conclusions. Through this process, students develop confidence in articulating their ideas, cultivating a sense of ownership over their learning and laying the groundwork for a lifetime of inquiry and discovery.

VPK gives each child an opportunity to perform better in school, prepares every child in Florida for kindergarten, and builds the foundation for their educational success.

Pre-K

Our VPK/Pre-K program is is centered on interdisciplinary projects that create engaging learning experiences through hands on, open- ended explorations. This state-funded program is provided at no cost to families, with optional extended hours of care available for an additional cost beyond the standard VPK hours. Within this framework, children are prompted to engage in small peer groups, fostering the exploration, design, and presentation of their projects. Collaboration and communication become the cornerstones of all activities. This approach encourages learners to formulate hypotheses, investigate processes, and draw conclusions, empowering them to articulate and defend ideas, building confidence in their ability to formulate individual opinions and become the authors of their own learning journeys. Through these interdisciplinary projects, children engage in foundational learning skills such as math, science, social studies, and language arts in meaningful ways.
