What is the difference between Preschool and Pre-K?

Preschool is for children who are 3 years of age (by August 31st), turning 4. Pre-K is for children who are 4 years of age (by August 31st) turning 5. Both programs focus on Language development, Social-Emotional skills, Biblical teaching as well as Math and Science. Preschool is more play-oriented, focusing on Letters, Language and Math. Pre-K is more academic with a focus on Phonics, Language, Handwriting and Math.

What is the difference between Half-day and Full-day Pre-K?

Teachers work together under the Early Learning Center Director and PK-2 Principal to create the same Curriculum for these classes.
There are three main differences:

The Full-day Pre-K is a Licensed Child-care Center.
Half-day Pre-K is a 4-day per week schedule and follows the NCA break schedule; it does not have any before or after care options. Full-day Pre-K has the built in childcare component allowing children to attend up to 10 hours per day.
Full-day Pre-K offers a scheduled nap-time.

What do parents need to bring?

Parents will need to bring lunches and sleeping materials. We provide three snacks per day, and cots for children to rest on at nap time. Parents should also bring a full change of clothes as well as any diapers or wipes.
