FAQs: The Difference Between Preschool & Pre-K

Here is one of our frequently asked questions.  Sherina asks, "What is the difference between your preschool   
and pre-k programs?"
Excellent question! Our preschool enrichment classes are geared for younger children who are not quite ready to begin kindergarten. The pre-k enrichment program is a more advanced class for older children who are getting ready to attend kindergarten the following year. 

We do basically the same things in both programs but the preschool program is modified to accommodate younger learners. A great example of that would be the morning meet and greet or circle time. The younger children have a much shorter group time while the older children will focus more on learning how to sit and participate in large group instruction, in addition to more advanced learning like beginning reading with our morning message, calendar math and simple math operations whereas the younger preschoolers would focus more on names, numbers, shapes, colors and letter recognition etc.
