TK/Kindergarten Readiness & Wraparound
Curious minds, growing friendships, and new discoveries.
4½ years through Kindergarten
In our Bug Room, children explore, create, and practice new skills together. School readiness is more than recognizing letters and numbers. It’s also asking for help, managing a backpack, following directions, trying a task, and working through frustration with support. We practice those things alongside hands-on learning.

Supporting your child’s development
What Your Child Will Be Learning
Numbers with meaning
Children count real objects, compare quantities, make patterns, build, investigate, and explain how they solved a problem.
“I’ve got my things”
Managing belongings, caring for materials, following multi-step directions, and taking classroom responsibility build independence.
Ready to be part of a class
Communicating needs, listening to others, cooperating, and recovering from frustration are skills children practice with patient guidance.
