Having learned how to successfully manage self-regulation and social expression skills, Pre-K children are eager to apply their knowledge to new experiences and relationships. Through teacher guided experiences, program activities are developmentally appropriate and focused on enhancing early academic skills, including early literacy, science, math concepts, and problem-solving. This balanced approach ensures that your child is not only prepared for kindergarten but also excited about learning.

In addition, children can explore their developing interests throughout our Experience Centers.
