About Pre-K

Children entering Pre-K must be 4 years old by Sept. 1.  In addition to the  Readiness goals, at this level there are some additional ones which include:

• Developing a higher level of social competence than at the Readiness level
• Speaking clearly and in well-formed sentences to children and adults
• Choosing from a wider range of materials demonstrating emerging individual gifts of “intelligences”
• Developing phonemic awareness through language activities and energetic chants, rhythms, music, and poetry
• Listening and sharing in a group time experience
• Developing self-regulation

All of our classes will be deepening our study of units and themes this year by using the Project Approach.
