Pre-K Program at Harwell School
(4-5 Years)
At Harwell School, we celebrate the remarkable growth and emerging independence of pre-kindergarteners. Our Pre-K Program is thoughtfully designed to provide a stimulating, supportive environment that fosters your child's confidence, curiosity, and kindergarten readiness from 4 to 5 years of age.
The World of a Pre-Kindergartener: At 4 to 5 years old, your child is on the cusp of a significant transition from preschool to kindergarten. This is a time when they are developing greater independence, more advanced cognitive skills, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Pre-kindergarteners are eager to explore new concepts, engage in more complex social interactions, and take on challenges that prepare them for the structured environment of elementary school.
Pre-kindergarteners are building the cognitive foundations that will support their future academic success. They are developing early literacy and numeracy skills, enhancing their memory and attention span, and beginning to understand cause and effect relationships.
At this stage, children are refining their language abilities, using more complex sentences, and engaging in detailed conversations. They are also starting to grasp the basics of reading and writing, which will be crucial as they enter kindergarten.
Pre-kindergarteners are learning to navigate more sophisticated social situations, build friendships, and understand the importance of empathy and cooperation. They are also developing better emotional regulation, enabling them to handle challenges and frustrations with greater resilience.
Our pre-K curriculum is designed to balance play-based learning with more structured academic activities. We provide a range of experiences that challenge your child’s growing mind while still making learning enjoyable. This includes activities that promote early literacy, math, and science skills, all in a way that is engaging and age-appropriate.
We introduce pre-kindergarteners to the fundamentals of S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) through interactive, hands-on activities. These experiences spark curiosity and lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning in these critical areas.
We use songs, stories, and interactive games to enhance your child’s language skills. This approach not only makes learning fun but also helps children develop the articulation and verbal abilities they need to succeed in school.
At Harwell School, we recognize that the preschool years are crucial for laying the foundation for future academic and social success. Our program is tailored to meet the unique needs of preschoolers, providing them with the tools and experiences they need to thrive in a resource-rich environmental. We combine a play-based curriculum with intentional teaching strategies to help your child develop critical thinking, communication, and social skills. Additionally, we introduce interactive S.T.E.M. learning to stimulate curiosity and a love for science and technology from an early age. With our nurturing environment and dedicated educators, your child will be well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in their educational journey.
