SYC Pre-K class is Monday through Friday. Five days works well as a preparation for kindergarten. The five-half day Pre-K program allows adequate time to prepare children with the skills needed in kindergarten plus an excellent transition for the physical demands of the five full days of kindergarten. In order for a child to be enrolled in our Pre-K classes, they must have turned 4 on or before August 31st of the enrolling year. Our Pre-K class is structured to prepare students for the kindergarten classroom. Each day consists of free play, group activities, circle time, snack, outside play (weather permitting) and school related activities. Students will explore their world and investigate how things work with the STEM exploration activities in their classroom. Students learn about letters each week as we focus on a new letter each week. Students also work on weekly Bible verses and activities related to the theme of the week. In circle time, students achieve memorizing their address, phone number and the ability to recognize and spell their own name, just to name a few. Pastor Rob holds exciting chapel services with the students twice monthly. Pre-K is an exciting age group to be a part of here at SYC and our students graduate with full assurance of achieving greatness in the years to come!
