Pre-K Program

Pre-K Program Overview

Kids World's preschool program is  licensed under the PA Department of Education.  Children are required to be attend Kindergarten the following year in order to participate in the Pre-K Program.  Here at Kids World, independent and cooperative learning opportunities guided by our skilled, nurturing teachers serve to strengthen social skills, equipping your child to enter kindergarten with confidence.  Your child receives a well-rounded Pre-K education that emphasizes physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development. Daily routines feature fun yet challenging math, science, social studies, literacy, and physical activities.  Immensely inquisitive, your "pre-ker" expresses his or her newfound independence through investigation, exploration, and burgeoning decisiveness. Within the comfort of an enclosed classroom, our skilled teachers offer your child plenty of choices concerning equipment and materials, emboldening little ones to learn with confidence.  
 

Research indicates a strong oral vocabulary is the foundation of future reading success. Engaging activities and conversations with teachers and peers are the cornerstone of our Pre-K program.   An environment rich with words, language, and print is key to promoting literacy. Your child will participates in interactive activities to increase phonological and print awareness, narrative skills, and letter knowledge. Writing skills are expanded with the help of the sight worlds exposed throughout the school year.

​

Four- and five-year-olds are full of energy and need active games and environments. You will see us building, dancing, painting and similar activities in order to help develop gross and fine motor skills, as well as coordination and concentration.

Here at Kids World we work closely with the parents.  Secure relationships with parents and staff, observance of healthy adult behavior, and early positive social interactions influence socio-emotional development. Opportunities to gently collaborate with peers and express emotions verbally rather than physically are beneficial to effective socialization. 

A high quality pre-kindergarten education can not only prepare children for kindergarten but also help them reach their full potential in life. Rich environments, stimulating experiences, and responsive interactions help to develop prekindergartens’ emergent cognitive skills. With a firmer grasp of logic and language, children at this age benefit from creative, theme-based activities that prime them for the next stage of learning.

The PA Keystone Stars define environment in a broad sense and take into consideration the arrangement of space both indoors and outdoors, the materials and activities offered to the children, the supervision and interactions (including language) that occur in the classroom, and the schedule of the day, including routines and activities. Each corner of our classroom has specific areas of interest including Math/Science, Library, Blocks, Dramatic Play, & Music/Movement that help develop and stimulate your child's interest. The room is full of fun, stimulating toys, while still providing a calm and soothing environment.  Children are encouraged by an adult to care for the belongings and the environment in ways they can handle. Kids World creates and adapts the environment and activities to meet the children’s changing needs from day to day.
