Pre-K Curriculum Overview
The preschool program provides numerous opportunities to explore their social world through the lens of social scientists who observe, interact, role play, and participate in the classroom community as a preschool version of our society. The classroom provides opportunities for students to understand diversity, varying roles and the decision-making process within the classroom, school and neighborhood community. The Social Studies curriculum provides a foundation for future Social Studies learning in Kindergarten and beyond.

Decision making: Children participate in making classroom decisions.
Geography: Children recognize and interpret features and locations in their environment.
