Pre-K

This Is Where It All Comes Together

The Pre-K year is magical. Your child is no longer a toddler navigating big emotions, they’re capable, confident learner ready to take on new challenges. They ask thoughtful questions, solve complex problems, build meaningful friendships, and show emerging independence that will carry them through kindergarten and beyond.

At For Your Child Preschool, we understand that Pre-K is about more than teaching letters and numbers (though we do that too!). It's about building the whole child—socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and creatively—so they walk into kindergarten not just academically ready, but genuinely excited to learn.

Our play-based approach to kindergarten readiness means your child will practice literacy and math concepts through hands-on exploration, develop executive function skills through meaningful projects, and build the confidence and curiosity that predict long-term academic success far better than early drilling ever could.

Our Programs

For Your Child Preschool has exceeded our expectations. The owner and the teachers in the infant room are so sincere and professional. They are kind, caring and even-tempered and work hard to make each day fun and interesting for the babies. Our daughter dances, paints and even takes Spanish classes! She is so excited when we arrive every day and it gives me peace of mind to know that she is in such competent and compassionate hands."
