This classroom was specially designed for our Tots who miss the Kindergarten cut off but have mastered all of the Preschool Enrichment skills. Typically our Pre-Kindergarten children have completed a full year in the Preschool Enrichment Program and are ready for new challenges and opportunities.

Age: 5 – 6 years

1. Kindergarten skills – A majority of the Pre-Kindergarten Programming is based on the Kindergarten and Grade one curriculum.
2. Focus on Independence – Children are active participants in their environment. They take part in maintaining, preparing and organizing their learning environment.
3. Scaffolding learning – Typically the children in the Pre-Kindergarten program are working on literacy skills such as beginning reading and writing.
4. Access to materials – The Pre-Kindergarten classroom has open access to art materials including scissors, paint and markers. An emphasis on being a respectful artist and taking care of their learning environment helps to promote good choices with open ended materials.
