Pre-Kindergarten Program

Ages: 3 years 10 months to 5 years

Ratio: 10 children to 1 teacher (up to 20 children with 2 teachers)

As children prepare for kindergarten, they develop the confidence, independence, and foundational skills needed for a successful transition to elementary school. At My Little Best Friends, we provide a nurturing, engaging environment where children are encouraged to think critically, solve problems, build meaningful friendships, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Our teachers build strong, trusting relationships with each child while encouraging curiosity, creativity, leadership, and collaboration through hands-on learning experiences and purposeful play. We recognize that every child learns differently and work closely with families to support each child's individual growth while preparing them for the expectations of kindergarten.

Our Pre-Kindergarten Program provides a consistent, engaging experience for every child. Regardless of classroom placement, each child benefits from the same high-quality curriculum, daily routines, and supportive environment while participating in developmentally appropriate experiences that build the academic, social, and emotional skills needed for kindergarten and beyond.
