Pre-K Classroom

The Pre-K program at Creative Beginnings is designed to get our four-year-old learners ready for kindergarten. In the Pre-K program children will learn all letter sounds, CVC words, digraphs, and sight words. Children will also learn how to count to 100 by ones, fives, and tens. Along with counting to 100 (or higher), children will learn to do essential addition and subtraction. Throughout the school year children will develop their independent learning skills, lead class circle time, and do independent problem-solving.
