St. Michael School Pre-K Discovery Learning Program for Three and Four Year Olds!

Picture1We believe that creative play and discovery are great ways to instill exploration, curiosity, and love of learning.

Our focus is on positive self-expression, social skills, self-help and self-awareness, fine and gross motor skills, and ways to explore Catholic beliefs, all of which are vital to kindergarten readiness.

Each day your child explores science, create artwork, learn key math concepts, listen to music, sing, participate in structured and unstructured play, and have fun with movement games.

Activities lay the foundational skills necessary to ready your child for success in kindergarten and beyond, while helping your child develop a comfortable separation from home to school in an environment in which he or she will feel happy, safe, comfortable and loved.

Three and four year olds are introduced to basic routines in the classroom such as listening, sharing and taking turns. Children develop basic skills in problem solving and decision making in structured and free-play opportunities, with hands-on activities and enhanced opportunities for growth in critical thinking, cognitive skills, creative expression, large and small motor skills, and social and emotional development.
