Pre-Kindergarten
The PK program is designed for four year olds with sufficient maturity and stamina to be in school for a full day, as well as for those children whose age makes them eligible for kindergarten, but need more time before moving to this next level of academic achievement. Students will develop a love for learning and a positive attitude concerning school, as well as be encouraged to think independently. The program's learning and kindergarten readiness goals will challenge its young learners at a higher developmental level than those in preschool and complement, but not duplicate, either preschool or kindergarten. This curriculum has been adapted to best suit these students’ abilities.Pre-Kindergarten Objectives
