VPK
We offer Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Education Program at our school. This program is offered free for all children preparing for kindergarten the following school year. Our exclusive curriculum helps our students soar beyond ABC’s and 123’s into active critical thinking. Children gain comprehension through interactive learning activities , exploring ‘how’ and ‘why,’ and developing life-long learning advantages. Your child will benefit from our innovative curriculum learning from dozens of topics including reading, writing, astronomy, mathematics, earth science, biology, art, world travel, weather, wildlife, public speaking, drama, social skills and character development.The purpose of the VPK year is to give your child a soft start in a school-like environment where he or she can get used to the structure of a traditional classroom. In fact, research has shown that students who receive this early preparation, will later score higher on tests and have better social and behavioral skills.
