A Joyful Place for Students to Learn and Grow!
Pre-Kindergarten is a special program for eligible four-year-old students, designed to meet the needs of a child's early years, which represent a period of rapid growth. It is during this period that key concepts are developed which directly correlate to a student's future academic success. Pre-Kindergarten is an exciting time for students and for parents. For many families, Pre-Kindergarten is the introduction into the public school system.
