Pre-Kindergarten

Our Pre-Kindergarten program provides a well-rounded foundation for lifelong learning, focusing on nurturing the whole child—socially, emotionally, and academically.

Developmental Areas

We emphasize key developmental areas such as:
  • Building self-regulation, forming positive relationships, and cultivating a strong sense of self.
  • Enhancing self-help skills, fostering healthy communication, and promoting independence in daily tasks.
  • Developing fine motor control for tasks like drawing, cutting, and writing, while strengthening gross motor skills like balance, coordination, and strength.
  • Fostering a love for reading through letter recognition, word-sound relationships, and early literacy skills.
  • Introducing foundational concepts such as number identification, counting, comparison, and basic number value.
  • Collaboratively developing individualized learning goals to support each child’s growth.
