Pre-K is an exciting year for children as they prepare for kindergarten and beyond. Children of this age become daily explores and investigators, as they discover more and more about this wonderful world and the God that created if for them.
Children in the Pre-Kindergarten class can be four or five years old, and may have different goals after Pre-K. While most children choose to go on to kindergarten, some do not, and that is okay! Our innovative curriculum is designed to meet each child where they are and prepare them for their next step in life. Our qualified and caring teachers will get to know your child and develop a plan to facilitate developmentally appropriate learning year-long. We combine your child’s interests with PA state standards to expose your child to variety of activities that will prepare them for kindergarten or whatever comes next! Our goal is to instill a life-long love of learning and exploring.

Supervised play centers
