About Pre-K at Tiny Roots Preschool

Our Pre-K Class is for students ages 4-5 and is the perfect introduction to a structured classroom environment. Students in this class learn important classroom skills including how to follow multi step directions, how to work together with their classmates and how to actively listen to their teacher. This class teaches little learners to become confident as the begin on their academic journey. Our Pre-K friends learn introductory academic preschool skills while playing! Each day we work on academic skills with hands on art, writing, phonics and math activities. Whether we are playing small group phonics games, or have a whole class math lesson or work one on one with Miss Kristi learning to write our names- all of it is done in fun, exciting hands on ways! We play and learn in this program!
