Pre-K Program

This is a stronger, advanced program designed to meet the developing needs of the older child who is preparing for kindergarten next year. We take our curiosity, imagination, creativity and our intellect to topics and experiences that have no limit.  Some of our themes have been Bio-luminescence, the National Parks, and the Oregon Trail!  We know how to mix learning and fun into an exciting program that includes math, science, art, music, literature and pretend play.  

Our curriculum is designed to align with the PRE-K Massachusetts Curriculum Learning Standards presented by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.  In our literacy program, we use The Fundations® Pre-K curriculum as an introduction; to the letters, sounds and writing skills. Fundations is taught in area public and private schools in their Kindergarten programs. This program supports students’ emerging understanding of the alphabetic principles of letter-sound associations and alphabetical order and the written language skill of manuscript letter formation. Supporting the Literacy program is the use of Heggerty Phonemic Awareness for Pre-Kindergarten.  As lessons are taught, students learn to hear the sounds in words for rhyming and syllable work.  With both Fundations®  and Heggerty Phonemic Awareness programs being taught in area public schools, we use their Pre-K programs.  All of the skills and concepts learned from these programs will help prepare children to the ideas and processes being presented in kindergarten, so that concepts and ideas make sense, and the processes can be mastered. 

Our classrooms are located on the first floor and enters from the front door into a sunny heated coatroom. Once inside, children find their coat hook and change from shoes to slippers or crocs. The Pre-K classroom has three walls of sunny windows, hardwood floors, a circle rug, a large classroom and adjoining Quiet/Writing room, ceiling fans year round, and air conditioning in warm weather. There are 2 bathrooms located inside the classroom.  

Holidays and birthdays are always celebrated and we welcome visits from family members.

Programs are open Monday through Friday with various schedule options.  We recommend a 4 or 5 day schedule for our PRE-K program.
