For Children Aged 4 – 5 Years Old
The Prekindergarten classroom will focus on content areas that the children will need to be familiar with when entering Kindergarten. Some of the many areas the class will be concentrating on are: beginning reading skills, mastering letter recognition, phonics, and the introduction of sight words.
They will also begin focusing on mathematical skills such as patterning, graphing, mastering number recognition, and understanding numbers 0-30. The classroom uses the early learning content standards created by each state as a curriculum guide to introduce subjects such as language arts, science, social studies, math, and writing.
We will begin exploring the world of technology by introducing computers into the classroom, engaging each child through interactive games and software with an educational purpose. The children will begin typing the sight words they are studying each week to learn the locations of the keys and the purpose of the keyboard. The children will be exploring the outside world with outside play time, both in the morning and afternoon (weather permitting). The children will enjoy a wonderful playground where they can climb, run, ride bikes, swing, and play basketball.
*We have a Child Profile Sheet that will better help your child’s teacher care for your child and engage them in activities to further their development.
Why Our Pre-Kindergarten Program Stands Out
Choosing the right Pre-Kindergarten program sets the stage for a lifetime of learning, confidence, and curiosity. At The Love Center Day Care Learning Center Academy, we don’t just prepare children for school—we prepare them for life. Our certified educators create a warm, nurturing space that blends early academic skills with social development and hands-on activities. We believe every child should have the chance to grow in a supportive environment that encourages both independence and collaboration. From letters and numbers to making new friends, we guide your child every step of the way.
