Preschool

One-, two- and three-year-olds attend 2, 3 or 5 mornings per week. There are separate classrooms for each age group. Daily activities alternate between creative play and more structured activities, and include table time, circle time, activity centers, lunch, playground time, music, stories and crafts. Weekly chapel is also included for two- and three-year-olds. Students in our 3s classes must be fully toilet independent.

Kindergarten: 4K

4-year-olds attend either 4 or 5 mornings per week. The curriculum is based on SC state standards, with emphasis on math and English/language arts, and children continue to attend music and chapel each week. The strong foundation provided in the 4K classes prepares students to successfully transition into a wide variety of public, private, charter and magnet schools for the elementary grades.
