Preschool offers a developmental academic program for children who are 3 years of age or older by June 1. Half- day classes with a two-day, three-day, or five-day option are available. The program includes "hands-on" learning in: reading readiness with the phonetic approach and math readiness with manipulatives for children to learn concepts from the concrete to the abstract. Practical life activities enhance the program for children to learn responsibility for themselves and their environment.

Kindergarten is offered to children who are 5 years old by September 1. Full day and half-day options are offered five days a week. The kindergarten curriculum includes student mastery in: letters and sounds of the alphabet, blending sounds and reading one-syllable short vowel words fluently. In mathematics, mastery of numbers 0-100 is the goal. However, many students progress beyond the mastery goals because the developmental program addresses individual paces and strengths.
