Pre-Kindergarten

Pre-Kindergarten classes meet Monday – Friday from 9:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Children entering this class must be entering kindergarten for the next school year or by permission of the director.

These classes continue with the curriculum to provide Pre-Kindergarten students a Bible-based, school readiness program five days a week.

The learning experiences at The Preschool at Riva Trace are planned to help children move towards the objectives for their level. Throughout the year, we will use the curriculum to address each of these preschool objectives through various learning experiences. Children will be engaged in various activities to address their development intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, creatively, and spiritually.
