Pre-K
The Last Preschool Milestone
What Does Kindergarten Readiness Look Like?
By Pre-K, children are ready for more, and our proprietary Links to Learning curriculum is designed to deliver it. Grounded in research and guided by our education experts, our Pre-K program develops the academic, social, and emotional skills children need to enter kindergarten prepared to lead, learn, and thrive.
The results speak to what’s possible. 95% of our Pre-K families report their child felt ready for kindergarten, especially if they started at our school by age 2 years. From early reading and foundational math to self-regulation and a growing sense of responsibility, students leave our Pre-K classroom confident, capable, and ready for everything that lies ahead.

Links to Learning in our Pre‑K Classroom:
Language & Literacy
Pre-K is where early reading begins in earnest. Through our Links to Learning curriculum, students move through letter sounds, sight words, and predictive reading strategies. They build the decoding skills and comprehension habits that carry them into kindergarten as confident readers. Inventive spelling and drawing give students additional tools to communicate their growing ideas.
Mathematical Thinking
In Pre-K, children work with addition and subtraction, patterns and graphs, and develop the problem-solving skills that prepare them for the academic demands of kindergarten. Our education experts design these experiences to make abstract concepts tangible and achievable.
Social-Emotional Learning
Pre-K students are ready to understand not just how to behave, but why it matters. They develop the vocabulary to express their feelings, build positive relationships, and internalize the values of kindness and respect that form the character of a thoughtful learner.
Wellness
Gross motor development in Pre-K takes on a new level of coordination and control. Through jumping rope, balancing, and targeted movement challenges, children build body awareness, stamina, and physical confidence.
Creative Expression
In our Pre-K classroom, children discover the work of real artists and explore a range of art forms, from painting to sculpture. They also participate in imaginative play drawn from their own experiences to deepen storytelling, original thinking, and self-expression.
Scientific Exploration
Pre-K students are ready to move beyond asking questions and start finding answers. Through structured experiments, simple technology tools, and engineering challenges, students develop the problem-solving mindset and spirit of inquiry that will serve them across every grade ahead.
Citizens of the World
Children use maps and globes to discover different places and learn about the people who live there. They are introduced to world languages and the traditions of different cultures, while beginning to understand how communities share and exchange goods, nurturing a natural curiosity about the world beyond their own.
