Classes & Programs

Pre-Kindergarten

If your child is four by September 1.

Our Pre-Kindergarten class is specifically designed for preschool aged children needing a more academically challenging environment, or those who narrowly miss the state deadline for Kindergarten enrollment. Pre-Kindergarten uses Abeka-Book curriculum for four year olds.

Extended Care Program

Because many of our families need flexibility in the time they bring their children to and from school, we provide Extended Care, a before and/or after class option.

Children may be scheduled on a regular or occasional basis, as long as openings are available. Any child enrolled at Central Preschool and Kindergarten may be enrolled in Extended Care (however, please note that your child must be toilet trained in order to be enrolled in Extended Care).
