PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Pre-Kindergarten program is designed as a Kindergarten Readiness class. The program emphasizes development in the four areas of cognitive skills, language skills, motor skills, and social and emotional skills. Children participate in whole-group lessons, small group projects, and learning centers. These activities provide a multitude of educational experiences, accentuate the children’s different learning styles, and better prepare each of the children for Kindergarten.
Stepping Stones Academy Pre-Kindergarten class meets five mornings a week, Monday through Friday, from 8:30-11:30 a.m., except on designated holidays and vacation days. The class is limited to fifteen children.
All children must be four years old by September 1st and potty-trained to enroll. A child is officially registered for Pre-Kindergarten when all of the required paperwork is turned-in to the School Office and the $100.00
non-refundable registration fee is paid.
Enrollment is on a first come basis. When the class reaches its maximum number of fifteen children, Stepping Stones Academy begins a waiting list for children wishing to enroll. As openings become available, families are notified according to the order of the waiting list.
