Pre-Kindergarten
|
We believe
preschool curriculum should emerge from the interests of the
child. Our teachers spend time observing and interacting with
children, making note of the interests that are being expressed
in their play and activities, and then planning the environment
and activities based on these interests.

Welcome
to Pre-Kindergarten
In this program, children aged four to five gain the final components of
literacy and math skills they will need for kindergarten.
Nurture Growth
Through the use of The Creative Curriculum our teachers are able
to design a classroom environment where the children form warm
relationships with teachers and caregivers, and feel comfortable to
explore their environment and make new discoveries.
Challenge Minds
This is a particularly active time when your child will learn to follow
oral directions, make predictions based on prior knowledge and write his
or her first name with appropriate cases. The children will learn sound
and letter relationships, and expand their understanding of the meaning
of words and stories. In math, they will learn to understand concepts
such as more and less, and develop their number sense.
Enrich Lives
Our
Pre-Kindergarten program sets the stage for academic success. We strive
to create a love of learning that your child will carry with them
throughout school and life.
Our
Pre-Kindergarten curriculum is aligned with Ohio’s Early Learning
Content Standards.
