PRE-SCHOOL CURRICULUM
(Ages 2-1/2 — 4, potty trained)

The Pre-School curriculum is a developmental program based on beginning readiness skills designed to promote success in school.

Parents can assist by reinforcing the letters and numbers taught at school; teaching your children their phone numbers; how to zip, button, tie, hold scissors and crayons correctly.
