THE FUTURE IS YOURS: Elementary Prep​

5 by Dec.1st, or permission  -  M-F, M-Th (with approval)

​Kindergarten these days is much more academic than it used to be, and many children enter unprepared.  High quality early education is essential to preparing kids for the next stage of learning and life. This program builds on your child’s earlier learning experiences in literacy, vocabulary, math, problem solving, and fine and gross motor skills. Independent and cooperative learning opportunities serve to strengthen social skills, ensuring your child is ready for their journey in elementary school.  This class will serve as a PreK or K class.

We want your child to leave us being a confident learner above and beyond what is expected. 

Our small class sizes don’t last forever, but they do mean a lot during these crucial years.
