Our Preschool program aims to provide young children with a foundation for lifelong learning by focusing on a variety of developmental and educational goals. These programs are designed to foster cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development through structured activities and play.
We mindfully design our program to benefit the whole child in a family dynamic with core objectives:
School Readiness: Prepare children for the structure and expectations of kindergarten, helping them transition smoothly into formal schooling.
Build a strong foundation in key academic areas, giving children a head start in their educational journey.
Enhanced Social Skills: Provide opportunities for children to interact with peers, fostering friendships and collaborative skills. Help children learn to navigate social situations, resolve conflicts, and communicate effectively.
Improved Cognitive Abilities: Stimulate intellectual growth and curiosity, encouraging a love for learning and discovery. Support early development of problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Emotional and Behavioral Benefits: Help children develop resilience, self-regulation, and a positive self-image. Provide a safe and nurturing environment for emotional growth and expression.
Physical Health and Development: Encourage physical activity and the development of motor skills through play and structured activities.
Promote healthy habits and routines that support overall well-being.
A comprehensive read-aloud curriculum featuring meticulously crafted lesson plans. Each week, the curriculum adheres to a close reading model, addressing comprehension, vocabulary, story elements, and phonemic awareness. Pre-K Literacy employs a structured daily approach, utilizing the mentor text throughout the week. Additional texts can be incorporated as needed to further enrich the learning experience.

Designed to provide students with a solid foundation in phonological awareness, letter identification, letter sounds, and handwriting. The unit is based on a sound-focused or sound-first approach. Students will be taught letter sounds in isolation. Research on the science of reading underscores the importance of these foundational skills, emphasizing that early literacy instruction grounded in phonological awareness and letter-sound knowledge is critical for developing proficient reading skills later on.
