Early Childhood
Pre-Kindergarten
The PK program is designed for four year olds with sufficient maturity and stamina to be in school for a full day, as well as for those children whose age makes them eligible for kindergarten, but need more time before moving to this next level of academic achievement. Much like the preschool program in the morning hours, the PK program continues in the afternoon with its own curriculum goals, themes, and field trip experiences. The program's learning and kindergarten readiness goals will challenge its young learners at a higher developmental level than those in preschool and complement, but not duplicate, either preschool or kindergarten. This curriculum has been adapted to best suit these students’ abilities.
