Pre-K room serves children ages 3 to 5 years of age. Our preschool unit is comprised of a group of children and teachers working collaboratively. The children start their day with a morning meeting. 
Ideas are exchanged as the group engages in cooperative dialogue. Music and movement can be used as a way to help children integrate the learning experiences as well as express themselves.
