Age Requirements
LLS Pre-K serves families and children who will turn five during the school year or who potentially could go to Kindergarten but need an extra year to mature.
Therefore, the student must be four years of age by May 31st of the year attending. If the birthday is later than May 31st, he/she will be accepted on an individual basis.
A Typical Day at Pre-K
Each day we have recitation, calendar, bible, and phonics first thing in the morning. Students then have P.E. for 30 minutes. We have show and tell, letter-of-the-week crafts, and math before lunch. We eat lunch together. In the afternoons, we have a theme for the month and an author or artist study for which we read books, draw in our narration journals, make crafts, write stories, and create artwork. Students also have recess and rest time every day.
