Preschool Programs

PRINCE OF PEACE PREKINDERGARTEN

Prince of Peace Prekindergarten has traditional classes for three and four year olds. We provide an interesting and stimulating environment where children can investigate and explore using their tremendous curiosity and sensory skills while developing kindergarten readiness skills. Our students explore our outdoor nature playground and garden year round and on a daily basis. One of our primary goals is to develop a positive self-image in each child while practicing social, cognitive and language skills; affirming that he or she is a unique, special person. POPPS has chosen Creative Curriculum for preschool as our curriculum. In addition, we utilize Get Set For School for pre-writing and we offer a weekly Music program. Pre-k classes meet three or four days per week, from 9:00am to 12:00pm with optional Lunch Bunch until 1:00pm , Early Drop-off 8:00-9:00 am and Extended Day 8:00 am to 3:30m pm .

STEPPING STONES

Stepping Stones is a transitional program for children ages 2 years 6 months – 3 years old.
