Pres-Kindergarten

At Ark Christian Academy, our Pre-Kindergarten program is thoughtfully designed for children ages 4 to 5 years old who are ready for more advanced learning experiences. We use a Kindergarten-based curriculum that gently challenges young minds while nurturing the social-emotional and developmental needs of each child.

Our goal is to build a strong academic foundation that prepares children not only for Kindergarten—but for a lifetime love of learning.

Academic Readiness Through Kindergarten Curriculum

Our Pre-K students benefit from a structured, yet playful environment that includes:

• Reading & Language Arts:
  Letter recognition, phonics, sight words, early writing, storytelling, and comprehension skills

• Math Foundations:
  Numbers and counting, addition/subtraction concepts, sorting, patterns, shapes, and problem-solving

• Science & Exploration:
  Nature studies, simple experiments, weather, seasons, and hands-on inquiry

• Social Studies:
  Community roles, maps, family, cultures, and holidays

• Enrichment Activities:
  Music, visual arts, drama, physical education, and fine motor development

Whole Child Focus

While academics are emphasized, we also prioritize:

• Social-Emotional Growth – helping children develop empathy, responsibility, and confidence

• Classroom Routines & Independence – preparing children for the structure of Kindergarten

• Play-Based Learning – used strategically to reinforce academic and interpersonal skills
