Pre-K Program at Hill and Dale

We have three rooms for the Pre-K age range. All children must turn 4 by September 30th of the current school year to ensure that the child will be entering kindergarten in the Fall of the next school year. 

Through hands-on teacher and child directed, developmentally appropriate, activities based on the children's interests, your child will:

• Develop large motor skills with opportunities to run, climb and ride tricycles
• Develop small/fine motor skills through the use of small tools such as tweezers and eyedroppers, and through activities such as drawing or stringing beads together
• Develop pre-reading and literacy skills by telling stories, acting out stories and having books read to them
• Build science knowledge through observing, experimenting and drawing conclusions
• Develop math skills through learning number words and symbols, shapes and learning about patterns
• Be encouraged to futher develop their creativity with open-ended art materials that allow for activities such as painting, gluing and drawing
• Continue to develop mediation and social skills through conflict resolution and interactions with others

Your child will feel secure by having a predictable daily schedule that they can easily understand and follow.
