Pre-Kindergarten

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.

Who can attend and when?

Pre-Kindergarten is for children who are four years old by September 1st.

Classes offered either three days per week (Tuesday/ Wednesday/ Thursday)​ or four days per week (Monday/ Tuesday/ Wednesday/ Thursday)

What will my child learn?

Children in Pre-K will...

  • develop language skills by beginning to compare stories, understand fiction and nonfiction, and make predictions. 

  • sing, dance and jump their way through the alphabet as they begin to understand that letters make sounds and that words are made up of letters. 

  • develop math concepts such as graphing, patterning, one-to-one correspondence and recognizing numbers through the use of hands on manipulatives . 

  • practice engineering skills by building in large scale block centers. 

  • learn to problem solve and share differences of opinion

  • develop self-management skills such as unpacking their totes, managing buttons, snaps, and zippers, opening their own lunches and cleaning up. 

  • hear the word of God through weekly Bible Time, memory verses, prayers, and through the modeling of our teachers. 

  • hone their large motor skills while experiencing the joy and wonder of the natural world on our beautiful outdoor playground. 

​

Pre-K children will build friendships and play hard!
