At A Star Is Rising Early Learning Center, we recognize that Pre-Kindergarten is an essential bridge between early childhood education and formal schooling. Our engaging, hands-on curriculum ensures that children are academically, socially, and emotionally prepared for their transition to Kindergarten.
Our Pre-K curriculum fosters intellectual curiosity, creativity, and confidence, focusing on:
✔ Language arts & communication – Strengthening vocabulary, phonics, and early reading skills
✔ Mathematics & problem-solving – Introducing counting, simple equations, and number sequencing
✔ Science & social studies – Exploring the world through experiments, geography, and community studies
✔ Writing & fine motor development – Practicing name-writing, penmanship, and basic sentence formation
✔ Social & emotional growth – Encouraging independence, teamwork, and self-expression
Our structured yet playful approach helps children thrive through:
📚 Circle time – Sharing ideas, discussing daily themes, and building communication skills
🎨 Creative arts & sensory play – Encouraging imagination and fine motor skill development
🧱 Block & dramatic play – Strengthening problem-solving and cooperative learning
🌳 Outdoor play & organized walks – Enhancing physical development and teamwork
📖 Library visits & field trips – Connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences
By the time they complete our Pre-Kindergarten program, children will:
✅ Recognize & write their names, addresses, and phone numbers
✅ Tie their shoes & practice self-help skills
✅ Construct simple graphs & count forwards and backwards
✅ Demonstrate confidence, independence, and school readiness
Our comprehensive and nurturing approach ensures that children leave Pre-K well-rounded, confident, and fully prepared to take their next big step into Kindergarten! 🎓✨
