Pre-K
(for children 4 years of age by December 1^st)

South Shore Children’s Center Pre-Kindergarten program offers a balanced approach to early elementary school skills.  Because your pre-kindergarten child is rapidly approaching the elementary school we focus on the skills necessary to meet the challenges they will face in kindergarten.   We use an interdisciplinary curriculum, incorporating key skills into a monthly theme.   Pre- Kindergarten goals include alphabet recognition and writing as well as recognizing the phonetic blends associated with emergent reading skills.  Number concepts are taught through hands-on experience with manipulative and concrete objects.  A strong emphasis is put on recognizing math in the child’s every day world.  Fine, gross and perceptual motor skills are worked on daily.  South Shore Children’s Center strives to make your child’s first school experience a positive one to encourage a love of learning and an enthusiasm for school that will last.
