We encourage students to ask questions in an effort to guide them in finding solutions and making decisions as independent thinkers. Through exploration and play, students practice early learning skills for future academic growth, and more importantly, they begin to develop a love for school and for learning.  Pre-kindergarten classrooms are set up in age-appropriate centers that include dramatic play, art, puzzles, manipulatives, games, blocks and building, sand/water tables, science materials and books. The literature-based curriculum focuses on a different children’s book each week. The learning objectives and activities are always easily adapted to different readiness levels and encourage the development of letter recognition and phonemic awareness, math concepts and basic science and social studies skills. As children’s skills develop and the curriculum advances, corresponding materials are added to the centers and new activities are introduced.
