Preschool: PreK 3 - Kindergarten

List of 1 items.

  • Nurturing Curiosity

    Lakeview’s preschool program nurtures curiosity through hands-on learning, research-based curricula, and a wide variety of enrichment classes that allow our youngest students to discover, learn, and grow. Science, literature, and math are woven into our play-based program, which also includes enrichment classes in character education, Spanish, art, music, library, and physical education.

    Critical thinking, social awareness, listening, and speaking skills are nurtured through play, exploration, and discussion. A strong foundation of decoding and comprehension skills help prepare every Lakeview preschooler for reading.
     
    PreK 3 students must be three by August 1 and three-day and five-day options are available.
