Our Pre-K school readiness program is perfect for children preparing to enter a traditional school setting. The curriculum is designed to facilitate classroom readiness for children. It integrates multi- sensory thematic instructions that follow four approaches: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Tactile (VAKT). The approach is that children learn better if they are taught using more than one sense. It can enhance one's memory and ability to learn; particularly for kids who learn and think differently.
It is a structured program, and a daily schedule is followed to make sure children get used to following a certain routine.
​
Recommendation: if the child has been to drop-off before and is between 2 - 2.5 yrs, we recommend 5D drop off option so that their transition to bigger school is seamless.
​
We are licensed by NJ Dept. of Children and Families (only small preschool that has this license in Hoboken, NJ). Tuition is eligible for tax deduction.
