Introduction to our Pre-kindergarten Class
Pre-Kindergarteners belong to a community and are responsible for a classroom job
every day. They take pride being creative with their artwork. They develop pre literacy
skills and learn numbers and basic number theory with the multi-sensory “Touch Math”
curriculum. They learn to print letters and numbers through the use of the Handwriting
without Tears curriculum.  Pre-kindergartners are engaged in music, art and dramatic
play! They also learn persistence when working on tasks, good listening skills and the
ability to follow directions.
Pre-K Objectives

Through music, movement, building, coloring, and multi-sensory activities, children have
fun as they develop important skills such as:
  • Letter recognition while simultaneously setting the stage for beginning to
    read and spell
  • Letter sounds
  • Numbers to 20
  • Following rules
  • Writing their names correctly
  • Learning the calendar
