Preschool & Pre-K

Curious thinkers, growing collaborators, and children getting ready for what comes next.

Our Preschool & Pre-K program serves children ages three through five — a span of years marked by significant growth in language, reasoning, social skills, and independence. Three-year-olds are beginning to ask big questions and work alongside peers. Four-year-olds bring more focus and more sophisticated ideas to their play and projects. Five-year-olds are developing the skills and habits that prepare them for kindergarten — reading readiness, number sense, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a group. As children move through these years, the structure and expectations of the day grow with them.

  • Project-based and theme-driven learning across ages 3–5
  • Early literacy, pre-writing, and language development
  • Math concepts through exploration and structured activity
  • Social-emotional learning and cooperative work
  • Kindergarten readiness skills for our oldest children
