Pre-K 4 SA follows the HighScope curriculum which fosters consistent routines and purposeful play to nurture your child’s learning and thinking. Subjects are integrated into a variety of activities to keep them engaged, and the approach is designed to develop problem-solving, critical thinking, interpersonal, and communication skills. Nutritional education and outdoor learning promote physical and mental wellness while encouraging exploration.

Community Connection

Children thrive when their families are engaged in their child’s education and have access to resources that promote learning for everyone. Pre-K 4 SA offers free resources for the whole family and opportunities to get involved, from parent groups and learning opportunities to year- round community events. Family Cafés at each Center give families a place to connect, collaborate, and find community.
