Childhood is a Journey, Not a Race: Pre-K in WCS

The Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten program is designed to help children prepare for kindergarten and succeed in the school environment. Success is achieved through developmentally appropriate instructional activities by highly qualified Pre-K teachers.  The program serves children who will be four (4) years of age on or before August 15.

The Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten classes use the Connect4Learning curriculum. The program focuses on all areas of development literacy, cognitive, math, language, social studies, science, fine/gross motor, and social-emotional skills. The VPK classes follow the Pyramid Model to provide a positive learning environment for all.
