If your child will be 4 years old by December 31st of the current school year and is registered in a minimum of 2 classes per week, you may join the Pre-kindergarten class on Fridays. Fridays are more focused and detailed emphasizing listening skills, independence, creativity, and confidence. Plus, pre-writing skills are developed only in the Friday class. Your child won’t want to miss out! Several Kindergarten teachers have mentioned that the extra Friday class improves a child’s transition to Kindergarten by helping them be more prepared and ready. We can’t stress enough how valuable the Friday class is.

Our Friday Pre-Kindergarten Class Focuses On:

• Developing the ability to concentrate (sit down and listen)
• Independently doing assignments (first listen to the instruction and then start working)
• Active listening 
• Patience (wait your turn and don’t get upset, if it’s not your turn to speak)
• Speaking in front of the class
