Four to Five Year Old Pre-K Program

Our Pre-K Program will encourage 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds (not yet in kindergarten) to prepare for school the following year. With a mix of child-directed play and a focus on early literacy activities, practicing letter and number recognition, phonemics, fine motor development, and more, GPS Pre-K children can continue learning and practising these skills outside of our regular preschool program to better prepare them for kindergarten. Please see the Information sheet for the Age Policy.

Tues/Thurs 1:00-3:15pm

​Please check back in 2024 to see if our program will offer this service for the 2024/2025 school year. Thank you kindly.

When choosing a pre-K program, look for signs that the school is employing best practices:

• Kids have ample time to explore, play and be creative using a variety of materials
  
• Teachers are warm and responsive & encourage conversation and participation
  
• Kids feel safe and secure
  
• Teachers set limits about acceptable behaviour, but also work with students to help them label, understand and cope with emotions
  

"Whatever happens in children's first educational experiences sets the stage for receptivity for what comes later - so if you inherit a nurturing and interesting environment in preschool, that's what school becomes for you"
