4 – 5 years
Pre-K
Our class for children who will start kindergarten the following school year. Parents have one weekly teaching day in the classroom.
Our Pre-K class is for children 4-5 years who are starting kindergarten the following school year.
The class meets four mornings a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (9:15 am – 12:15 pm)
Learning through play
PNS embraces the joyful, spontaneous benefits children receive from exploring and experimenting in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe that this natural and essential activity called “play” is what enhances cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. The merits of play as a vehicle for imagination, discovery, invention, problem-solving, social interaction, self-regulation, creativity, role-playing, and language/literacy development are limitless. In our 4-5s class, teachers begin to introduce a few more optional science, math, and literacy activities.
