Early Childhood Program
What is
Pre-Kindergarten?
Children at this age are developing rapidly, and it is our goal that they would love learning. Curriculum continues to be developmentally appropriate and integrated through a variety of thematic experiences designed to provide a smooth transition from skills learned in the 3-year old classroom and which meet the more complex needs of four year olds. The Pre-K curriculum is aligned to all Oklahoma state standards but is taught in a play-based, hands on environment.
