This program is designed to serve as a bridge between Pre-K and Kindergarten to give our oldest students their own space to prepare for their next step. Traditionally, TK is students who turn 5 before 12/31/2024 or those who make the cut off but need an extra year before heading into a full day program. These students will take their Pre-K building blocks as they journey through the small group work stations and advance at their own pace. Our TK program will be using the North Carolina curriculum guides to give these students a head start to their Kindergarten year.

Pre-K is what most children will complete the year before Kindergarten. This is the most amazing year for both early math, reading, and social skills. In Pre-K students will learn to write their names, form letters, and even start sight words. Pre-K is designed for students who have traditional birthdays and will make the cutoff for public/private Kindergarten. These students will get the same opportunities to advance at their own pace as the TK students and will be ready to roll into Kindergarten!
