Early Education
Preschool
The Preschool is an excellent early childhood learning program teaching children through creative projects in a variety of areas. We have two classes available – three-year old preschool and four-year old preschool.
The K3 class is designed to provide a safe and fun environment to develop a love for learning. The structure helps the student develop self-discipline and an understanding of a classroom setting, boundaries, the learning process. Its focus is on language and numbers as well as cooperation in the social areas.
The K4 class is designed to get the students ready for Kindergarten. Students begin the reading process through phonics and beginning the basics of mathematics. They continue to adjust to a more structured setting.
