Our prekindergarten program is for our students who are age four years old by September 1 of the current school year. In this program we follow a 1 teacher to 13 students ratio. The state ratio for four-year-old prekindergarten students is 1 teacher to 15 students. We have two different classrooms for our prekindergarten students. One classroom has one staff member and a maximum of 13 students and the second classroom has two staff members with a maximum of 21 students.
This program is designed to ensure that our students are exiting our school completely prepared for kindergarten. The curriculum will teach students the skills needed to proceed into formal education following their graduation from our program. Our prekindergarten students will experience the world through hands on experiences and fun structured learning times. Our program includes STEAM activities, literacy engagement activities, individual learning opportunities, group learning opportunities, outdoor discovery and so much more.
We have multiple scheduling options including school day prekindergarten (8am-3pm) and a full day including extended childcare (7am-6pm). Additionally, we offer a two day per week, three day per week or five day per week option for schedules. Since your child is part of our prekindergarten program, he or she will also have the opportunity to enroll in extracurricular programs during the extended childcare times following the school day. These activities are through outside programs, are only for preschool and prekindergarten students and have additional fees associated with them paid directly to the provider.
