Pre-K

4 years to 5 years

Our pre-k classroom is made up of children who are 4 and 5 years old. Typically, they will come to this classroom the year before kindergarten. Your child’s birthday and when you join Stepping Stones determines if your child will be in Pre-k for two years. In a pre-k classroom, we run a 1 to 12 ratio, that means 1 teacher for every 12 kids. Stepping Stones offers your child not only the highest quality of care, but also education. We are made up of a teaching team who not only cares about your children but cares about your family too. We do our best to help your child grow while working with each family’s need. We create an environment where your family is part of our family. The following are things we work with your child to achieve during their time in Pre-k:

• Better understand the concept of time and the order of daily activities, like breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, and dinner at night.

• Count ten or more objects.

• Correctly name at least four colors and three shapes.

• Recognize some letters.

• Write his or her name.

• Follow two- to three-part commands. For example, “Put your book away, brush your teeth, and then get in bed.”

• Speak clearly using more complex sentences.

• Have a greater attention span

• Recognize familiar word signs, such as a “STOP” sign.
