Children in our four year old Bluebird & Sea Turtle classes participate in the Georgia Lottery Funded Pre-K program. This is the capstone year of our preschool experience and our four year olds begin to establish proficiency in the skills necessary for kindergarten success. These children are exposed to a wide variety of educational domains including personal and social development, language and literacy, mathematical thinking, scientific thinking, social studies, the arts, and physical development, health and safety. Four year olds spend parts of their day in teacher directed learning and parts of their day in child led learning to achieve a balanced outcome of school readiness. Highlights of the year for pre-k students are our Family Thanksgiving Feast, GCSU Nutcracker Field Trip, Easter Egg Hunt, Lockerly Arboretum Field Trip and the End of Year Celebration. Sea Turtles and Bluebirds attend school Monday through Friday with the option of pre-k only or pre-k and afternoon care. Children must turn 4 on or before September 1st to begin pre-k.
