Enrollment Opens Mid‑February — We Can’t Wait to Meet Your Family!

PRE-KINDERGARTEN
Young Fives Classroom

Our Young Fives Classroom offers a more advanced preschool experience designed to prepare children for the transition into kindergarten. Each week begins with thematic, literature‑based content supported by planned learning activities that strengthen critical thinking, creativity, and early academic readiness.

The classroom features multiple learning stations filled with engaging, developmentally appropriate materials. Students break into small groups for one‑on‑one time with their assigned teacher and for collaborative activities that build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of community within the larger group. Throughout the year, your child’s teacher will also compile a work‑sample portfolio to share during conferences.

This program is ideal for children who are ready for a more structured, enriched pre‑kindergarten experience while still benefiting from the play‑based, hands‑on learning environment that defines The Learning Express Preschool.
