A Day in Our First Class Pre-K Program
Children begin the day by greeting their teachers, organizing their belongings, and preparing for learning. The morning includes a community meeting, Frog Street instruction, literacy, early mathematics, science, and small-group learning. Students rotate through purposeful centers where they can practice skills, collaborate, create, and explore. Outdoor play, movement, meals, and rest are incorporated into the daily rhythm.
