• COMPETENT STUDENTS

    through Exploratory Play

    The focus of the Pre-Elementary School curriculum is a hands-on, gradient approach toward gaining successively higher and more complex skills. It ends in ability to read, ability to write, ability to do addition and subtraction as well as a variety of communication skills, social skills and many new physical abilities.

  • HAPPY CHILDREN

    through Accomplishments

    The Pre-Elementary School curriculum also includes a good deal of knowledge in the areas of literature, science, art, music and social studies. Our curriculum and its application results in a bright, happy student who is really ready for first grade.

Life Experience

Preschool and Kindergarten 1 students have lots of playtime in our safe, secure and separate play yard. The play yard is equipped with field turf, slides, swings and more, providing lots of activity and outdoor time. Then there are field trips. As a part of Goals Oriented Education, even our young students get a chance to get out of the classroom and experience life.

The “What People Do at Work” is a popular half-day trip where they get to see first hand what grown ups do when they go to work. Preschool, Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2, like the rest of the school, begins the day at 9:00 a.m. and ends off at 5:00 p.m., giving busy parents enough time to pick students up without taking time off work.
