Class Experience

US Grade Preschool
This fun and flexible preschool class is great for children ages 4-6! Each week we develop new skills in reading foundations; such as letter recognition, letter sounds, and more! Each class begins with a letter story and targeted letter practice followed by a fun craft, all focused to help develop skills in language arts. With uploaded worksheets and activities to print from home and complete before or during class, your child will be engaged and be able to practice the fine-motor skills essential for small hands! Parents are necessary to help students use scissors. Class sizes are limited to 8 students to allow for more interaction and attention.
