Our Pre-K extended day class is designed to meet the needs of the older preschool child who will benefit from additional time in a pre-K class of four and five-year-old peers. Our goals are to develop social competence and strengthen math and literacy skills for kindergarten readiness. We believe that children learn best in a nurturing, playful, child-centered environment.
Our classroom community helps children develop the social skills needed to succeed in school. We promote self-esteem, confidence, and respect for ourselves and others. We help the children become responsible and independent by providing them with opportunities to make choices and to be helpers in the classroom, and we emphasize cultural awareness and the value of cooperation and teamwork. These skills are developed during activities and dramatic play. There is an emphasis on the unique abilities each child brings to the classroom.

Our program gives the children a chance to explore pre-math concepts and pre-reading concepts in both large and small group settings. We emphasize exploring the environment and nature around us as the best way to learn about science. The children will use materials in their own way, allowing for different learning styles and leaving room for creative expression which will make learning joyful and fun.
The creative arts are an integral part of our classroom and the children engage their imaginations through dramatic play, story-telling, book making, music, and art media. The emergent style of curriculum development promotes a collaborative learning environment while respecting that each child is an individual with his or her own special gifts.
Parents have found that a group of 5 year old's is a unique opportunity for their children to be challenged and grow with their peers. “Being with the older kids in the 5’s program has been great. My child has had a chance to engage in more verbal and sophisticated play and learning because of this class.” “The dynamic of socializing and working together with their classmates and teacher is the most beneficial part of the program. My child has developed real friendships this year.” (From parent evaluations)
