Preschool Four-Year-Old Program
Four day (M-TH) or Five day (M-F): Four by 8/31
The four-year-old program consists of an array of thematic units that teach kindergarten readiness skills in a fun, exciting, and age-appropriate way. Children are encouraged to look for peer relationships, play cooperatively, explore, create, and contribute to group activities. At the same time, the children’s confidence and self-esteem are strengthened. A multi-sensory handwriting approach is utilized and continued development of fine and gross motor skills are integrated.
