Preschoolers Actively Working in School

Our Program

Williams Bay School District established their Four Year Old Kindergarten Program in 2007

with a commitment to excellence in early childhood education.

A TYPICAL DAY IN 4K

"Play gives children the chance to practice what they are learning," Mr. Rogers.

  • Outdoor Play- Children start their day working on gross motor skills on the playground. They enjoy swinging, climbing, hopping, sliding, and running.

  • "Busy Bee" Time- Busy Bee Centers are small group, teacher led activities. These lessons focus on early math and literacy skills using hands-on activities. Parent volunteers are welcome to join us for small group work time.

  • Language Ars & Math- Theme based projects are created to teach kindergarten readiness skills.

  • Learning Centers- Centers vary throughout the year. During this free choice time, the children will learn through exploration and discovery. Students can choose to build, create art, engage in dramatic play, sand and water, nature and science. Center time helps children grow in their social skills as they navigate interactions with their new friends!

  • Storytime- Reading a story with milk and snack wraps up a wonderful day at school.

4K Family Outreach Days

Once a month the 4K students will not attend school. We will plan a family outing and meet you there. This will allow parents and teachers to get to know one another while enjoying the community around us. We are planning to hike, play in the park, visit the library, and many more events.
