About the Provider

Description: These days, children enter Kindergarten with lots of knowledge. Many have been in preschool for several years, are familiar with letters and numbers and are excited to learn more. At Precious People, we build on the knowledge and enthusiasm to create a strong foundation in literacy, math, science, and social studies. Our literacy program includes phonics, journal writing, and reading groups. Our math program includes hands-on work in addition and subtraction, telling time, and handling money. Our Kindergarten students develop the skills they need to excel in first grade and beyond.
