Our Two-Year-Old program serves children who have turned 2 by Sept. 1st of the school year. We offer a 2-day (M/W, T/TH) or a 4-day (M-Th) option for this age group. Both class options run from 9am to 2pm. In the 2s, children will begin to explore colors, shapes, bible stories and letters.

Three-Year-Old Program
Our Three-Year-Old program is for children who have turned 3 by Sept. 1st of the school year.

The school day runs from 9am to 2pm for all Three-Year-old classes. We offer a 2-day, 3-day or 5-day option for this age group. These classes have so much fun becoming little learners. Their day includes circle time with songs and stories to enrich receptive and expressive language skills, center-based play to nurture social-emotional growth, and one-on-one teacher time to focus on craft and academic skills. At this age level, our students will be an active part of the class and school family by being helpers in the class and at chapel, and even putting on shows for our families. Children in the Three-Year-Old program must be potty trained. Ratio 10:2
Four-Year-Old Program
We offer many different programs for the Four-Year-Old student. Our most popular program is Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK). VPK is a state sponsored program offering 540 hours of free Pre-K classes to students who meet eligibility requirements. Our free VPK program meets T/TH/F from 9am to 2pm throughout the school year. Find out more about the Florida VPK program here https://www.floridaearlylearning.com/vpk VPK students follow a curriculum which prepares them for the academic requirements of Kindergarten, while allowing time for learning and social-emotional development through play. VPK students participate in special area classes including chapel, music, PE, Science and Library weekly.
Families who need a full week of school can enroll in our VPK Wrap program. Wrap adds M/W to your child’s school week. These additional hours are offered at a self-pay rate. Children in VPK Wrap participate in all of the same activities and specials classes as our VPK students.
If your family chooses not to use a state VPK voucher or is not eligible for a voucher, your child can enroll with our Non-VPK 3 or 5 day option.
Our newest option for Four-Year-Old students is our Pre-K Co-Op program. This Pre-K program is offered 2 days per week (M/W) from 9am to 2pm. This is not a state sponsored program; no state required assessments, no birthdate or attendance requirements, no mandated curriculum. In a Co-op class parents will be utilized as the classroom assistant on a rotational basis (1-2 days per month). Families will be encouraged to gather for out of school extensions of learning, such as field trips and playgroups. Open to students who will be starting Kindergarten (public, private, virtual or homeschool) the following school year.
