Pre Kindergarten
At AppleGate Academy & Preschool In the final year before elementary school begins the children are exposed to print, positional concepts, sequencing and problem solving among many other necessary skills and concepts. A weekly curriculum using a theme approach is followed throughout the year. We believe that the development of the whole-child extends to all areas of our Pre-K program. Pre-K children at AppleGate are offered a wide variety of experiences and activities designed to give them opportunities for self-discovery, exploration and the freedom to create within a safe environment. We incorporate this learning process for the children through physical, social, creative, emotional and intellectual growth. This is accomplished by having each child experience small successes in these everyday activities. Our Pre-K teachers provide meaningful hands on approach which allows the children to explore, experiment, become confident and curious learners with the skills they need for kindergarten.
