Developmental Goals for 3,5 yo - 5 yo
Our Pre-K educators collaborate annually with local kindergarten teachers to align on student expectations and recent educational trends. Children are encouraged to construct their own learning and knowledge through the abundant opportunities and guidance offered by our educators. We view each child as competent, capable, and naturally curious, which shapes our unique learning environment.
