Pre-kindergarten
Overview
Preparing for school and a lifetime of learning together
Pre-kindergarten is a critical time for children as they begin the adventure of a lifetime of learning. My Pre-kindergarten program promotes independence while preparing your child for the next exciting phase - kindergarten! I make the transition smoother by helping children become more familiar with an organized environment. I focus on group play (when possible) to develop social skills, such as listening, sharing, and cooperation. I have a passion for what I do and consider it a privilege to partner with you during this special time in your child's life.
