Meets Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays 9 am- 1 pm
At Once Upon a Preschool we have spent the last 11 years building and perfecting our PreK program. This enhanced program will truly provide the best Kindergarten Preparation possible for our students. We have changed the name of our PreK program to “Kinder Prep” because that is truly what our program does- prepares our students for success in Kindergarten.
Our Kinder Prep program is designed for children 4-5 years old and is the final step in getting your student prepared to enter Elementary School. We provide a very structured and organized classroom setting to help children transition better to a kindergarten classroom. Our lesson plans integrate whole group learning, small group activities, and one on one learning with Miss Kristi. Students are academically evaluated on a regular basis and taught at skill levels tailored to their needs to encourage academic achievement.
The last year before Kindergarten is a time of enormous and exciting growth. As a parent, you want your child to enjoy this stage while building the right skills for the steps ahead. We offer a program that gives you both; a teacher who cherishes this important time, and curriculum recognized by parents and teachers for helping children build the social and academic skills needed to be ready for school. Through hands- on exploration and play, we engage our students in writing, reading, science, artistic expression, math and engineering. Concepts are experienced, played with, and integrated into the minds of young learners. Our Kinder Prep program makes learning FUN and instills a love of school and learning in our students, so they are ready AND excited to go to Kindergarten!
