Pre-K

Continuing to nurture your preschooler’s mind, our Kids ‘R’ Kids at Sugarloaf has four state-funded Pre-Kindergarten classrooms. Each class has an experienced certified teacher and a para-professional who implement the Creative Curriculum approved through Bright From the Start.  This is the next stop on your child’s way toward elementary learning. Here, learning is driven by student development and imagination.

Our program meets and exceeds national standards, has theme-based topics, and addresses all learning styles. The program’s goal is to help each child succeed to his fullest potential, which is why each topic of study was developed with the learner in mind.

Pre-Kindergarten activities include large and small hands-on groups, independent activities, and realistic application. The learning stations and curriculum were designed to build children’s comprehension. Through independent and cooperative learning strategies, children are able to apply thought, imagination, and creativity into their educational experiences.

Creation Station presents free-choice art experiences that develop skills and imagination.
Construction Station (Block Center) develops spatial awareness through stacking, sorting, building, and recreating.
Dramatic Play Station encourages individual and group role play activities with realistic and imaginary props.
Math Station lets children apply math skills with a variety of materials and strategies.
Reading Station promotes independent reading and a love of books.
Science/Sensory Station allows children to experiment with materials.
Writing Station encourages beginning letter formation through a variety of
materials and activities and helps children build their language skills.

Children continue to learn about themselves and the environment around them in an atmosphere permeated with the Kids ‘R’ Kids philosophy of “Hug First, Then Teach.” Teachers encourage and praise children for their accomplishments, building their self-esteem and creating memorable learning experiences with them.
