We offer a program tailored to meet specific needs of children preparing to enter kindergarten. We hand selected a state approved curriculum that aligns with the standards used in the public schools systems. It identifies all of the essential learning elements, including literacy and language development including, reading readiness, math, social studies and STEM activities. We also emphasize social and emotional awareness and character building through learning and play activities. Our preschoolers entering school will meet and exceed the state's standards as measured in kindergarten.
