planting the roots of education

Pre-K

1 teacher to 12 children or 2 teachers to 19 children

4 - 5 years

This is older 4’s and young 5’s classroom.​ Pre-K is an exciting classroom where students are furthering their independence and self-help skills. In Pre-K we are focusing on a enhancing hand-eye, hand to hand coordination, finger dexterity, and bettering problem-solving skills. Some of the ways students practice these skills is through the use of loose parts, table-top and floor puzzles, manipulating writing utensils, and molding playdough or clay into different letters, numbers, and shapes! This classroom is designed to prepare students for the next big step - Kindergarten! The implementation of Learning Without Tears curriculum has allowed us to align our Pre-K expectations with that of the Merrimack Public School system, to better prepare our graduates for Kindergarten. We spend a lot of time outside, allowing students to explore their curiosities and increase their creativity skills and use of imagination. Students must be potty trained to be in Pre-K.
