In our pre-kindergarten class, your child will be exposed to a variety of activities and programs that further our comprehensive STEAM learning approach to engage your child and prepare them for Kindergarten. Our school readiness curriculum helps build the foundation for lifelong learning. We foster and encourage children’s inquiry and curiosity and provide a balance of activities that foster child learning, discovery, and teacher guidance.
