Ages 4–5

Ready for kindergarten.
Still wonderfully little.

Kindergarten readiness means more than recognizing letters and numbers. Listening, handling transitions, joining a group, and trying again when something feels hard are part of the picture too.

At our Glendale and Goodyear campuses, pre-K combines teacher-guided learning with play, movement, and creativity. Children practice classroom habits and early academics while continuing to enjoy childhood.

Little discoveries, every day

The foundations for their next big step.

Early literacy & phonics

Letter recognition, sounds, rhyming, and vocabulary give children a foundation for reading. Listening to stories, retelling ideas, and answering questions build comprehension and confidence speaking in a group.

Early math & number sense

Children count objects, recognize numbers, sort, and notice patterns. Hands-on comparisons—more or less, longer or shorter, heavier or lighter—help make mathematical ideas concrete.

Fine-motor & pre-writing skills

Drawing, tracing, cutting, art, and guided writing practice build coordination and hand strength. Children explore lines, shapes, and early attempts at writing their names.

Friendships & emotional readiness

Sharing, cooperating, and taking turns create daily opportunities to practice patience. Teachers guide children to use words when frustrated, solve small problems, and reconnect after conflict.

A rhythm they can count on

A pre-K day with purpose and play.

Predictable routines give children practice with classroom expectations. The daily rhythm balances learning centers and small groups with art, snacks, movement, and calm transitions.

Curriculum & daily schedule

  1. Gather & listen

    Stories, songs, and group conversations build listening, vocabulary, and classroom participation.

  2. Explore letters & numbers

    Teacher-guided activities and hands-on centers make room for phonics, early literacy, counting, and problem-solving.

  3. Create & move

    Art, cutting, drawing, and outdoor play support fine-motor skills, coordination, and creativity.

  4. Practice doing it myself

    Managing belongings, cleaning up, washing hands, and following one-step and two-step directions build independence.

Christ at the heart of every day

Little hearts.
Growing in faith.

Kindness, respect, gratitude, and self-control become habits children can practice. Teachers pair steady expectations with Christian character lessons and caring guidance. Children learn how their choices affect others and how to respond with patience and compassion.

Our Christian faith & values

Progress, one day at a time

Kindergarten readiness: signs of growing confidence.

Use these as conversation starters about your child’s progress, not an admission test or a promise of readiness by a certain date. Children do not need every skill mastered.

  • Joins group activities with growing attention
  • Recognizes some letters and enjoys books
  • Counts objects, sorts, and notices patterns
  • Uses words to work through small problems
  • Handles transitions with increasing confidence
  • Tries drawing, shapes, and early name-writing
  • Practices clean-up, handwashing, and caring for belongings

Teachers & families, together

You’re part of the next step, too.

Teachers share observations about learning, classroom habits, and social development so families can understand progress. During a tour, ask about phonics, classroom routines, and the ways we support independence. This program may be a fit if your child is four or five and your family wants kindergarten preparation within a caring Christian environment.

Attentive supervision and clean learning spaces are part of our approach to care. Ask us about classroom routines, drop-off, and pick-up during your visit.
