Pre-K at The Stanley School

Preschoolers learn through play but also have organized learning with circle time and small and large group activities. Lesson plans include themes that provoke creativity and develop a sense of independence and self-awareness. Children establish a strong foundation of skills to prepare them for kindergarten.

Teachers will provide a schedule that guides a typical day and curriculum. Class ratios are approximately 1:12.
