Our Early Childhood Program
Our early childhood program has chosen an age appropriate and research based curriculum for our pre-k students called Tools of the Mind. We have been implementing this curriculum for many years and have seen wonderful results in the overall academic growth of our students. In our classroom, we have exciting learning centers where the students can learn through exploration and socialization. Our students have the opportunity to learn everyday in a clean, safe, developmentally appropriate and child- friendly classroom with their friends and teachers.

Dear families,
Welcome families to Pre-k 4 at P.S. #5!! We are so excited for the year and everything that is to come. Please feel free to come to us with any questions or concerns. Try to check in with your stduents and ask them about their day and what they have been doing. At home you can always practice letters, writing, numbers, colors, and shapes. We will be transforming the dramatic play center into different themes throughout the year. We will playing and putting out new toys according to the new theme as well as incooperating different roles and new vocabulary to follow along. It is always benefcial to be reading to your children at night and asking them questions about the story they heard. I love to hear them express their thoughts and new ideas in school and would love to have you guys doing that at home as well.
