Classes for 2, 3, 4, and 4/5 Year Olds

The educational programs at Risen Christ Preschool were created with your children’s needs in mind: to mature and develop in a safe yet stimulating environment. As a play-based preschool, we are focused on the process of learning and work hard to create an atmosphere of discovery, exploration, and appropriate risk-taking. Take a look below to learn more about each program.

TWO YEAR OLDS

4/5 YEAR OLDS

KINDERGARTEN BRIDGE

OPTION 1: MONDAY - FRIDAY 9:15 - 11:30
OPTION 2: MONDAY 9:15 - 11:30, TUESDAY - FRIDAY 9:15 - 1

This program is geared toward children who are turning 5 prior to December 1st. Kindergarten Bridge (“KB”) is a Kindergarten readiness class, typically serving students who are eligible for Kindergarten, but opting to wait for various reasons. Children in this class will work towards K standards in an environment that is beneficial to young learners. The KB program is broken down into two parts: class from 9:15 AM – 11:30 AM, then an extension from 11:30 AM – 1 PM. This extension includes a continuation of learning and activities, as well as time to eat a packed lunch. The combination of these two parts helps students develop stamina for a longer school day. *Please note: The 4/5 program is designed with the expectation that families will choose to enroll their child in both parts of the program. The extension is only available to students in the 4/5 class.
