The Pre-Kindergarten Program (Pre-K) is responsible for providing support and education for staff and families to ensure high quality education for children the year before kindergarten to prepare them for school success.

Pre-K provides a rigorous academic preschool education for children.
Classes focus on teaching children to:  
          •   see themselves as capable learners.
          •   develop reading, writing and math skills.
          •   work well with other children and adults.

Up to 20 children are enrolled in each class with a licensed teacher and an assistant.
Children are enrolled for a full school year, half days, mornings or afternoons.
