Naptime

Pre-K students need to purchase a kindermat for nap time. Parents will need to provide their child with a sheet/blanket to cover their mat and a second blanket to wrap up in during nap! Pillows may be brought from home as long as they are covered with a removable case that can be sent home weekly for laundering.

WiFi Tablets are used in the Pre-K classroom in order to enhance instruction..

Children will concentrate on letter recognition, sounds and proper writing formation. Towards the end of the school year, they will learn how to blend letters which will result in reading simple words with a basic understanding of beginning phonics.
