🌟 Preschool A – “Year to Grow” Program

​

Our Preschool A Program is thoughtfully designed for children who would benefit from an extra year before kindergarten—those who are not quite ready for the transition, yet are more advanced than a traditional 4-year-old program.

This enriching, structured program supports the whole child, focusing on academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. It provides children with the time, confidence, and skills they need to enter kindergarten feeling prepared and successful.
