We are excited about the continued success of our PreK program!
The PreK class, which serves 4 and 5-year-olds, has a strong emphasis on the development of motor skills, social & emotional development, communication, language, and literacy. Students will grow through the exploration of subjects like religion, reading and writing, math, social studies, and science. With two lead teachers and two full-time assistants, our student-to-teacher ratio is 8:1. This allows for individualized attention and instruction throughout the school day.
Children must be 4 years old by September 1 to be eligible
Full-day program with morning and after-school care available
Small teacher-to-student ratios with a certified teacher & a full-time assistant
Children receive additional enrichment by participating in Specials, which include: Spanish, Music, Art, Library, PE, & STEM classes
