Our Preschool and Pre-K curriculums provide guidance toward developmentally appropriate expectations for our young learners. Early learning experiences in Preschool and Pre-K will help the children to become ready for Kindergarten and provide a foundation for their success. It is our hope that our students will develop a love of learning that will keep them engaged through their years of education and beyond.
