Senior Pre-Kindergarten I
Our Pre-Kindergarten program focuses on gaining social skills, while adding an academic component that is developmentally appropriate. We work with students on early literacy and writing skills, as well as early mathematical skills to prepare all students for kindergarten. Our Pre-Kindergarten curriculum is designed to build comprehension and critical thinking capabilities. Through independent and cooperative learning opportunities, children are able to establish logical thinking patterns, imagination, and creativity into their educational experiences. Our goal at Foundation Learning Academy is to work in partnership with parents to set their children on the path to a life-long love of learning and success.
The Learning Stages Pre-Kindergarten program meets your child’s needs in these key areas of development:
- Social Bridge – this includes interactive play, sharing, caring, and following through on commitments
