About the Provider

QEI offers a comprehensive kindergarten-readiness program (K4/K5) customized to enhance the learning abilities of kindergarten-ready children. These children learn through phonics-based instruction, alphabet, shapes and numbers recognition, and hands-on manual-dexterity training. Because we understand the importance of establishing a morning routine, our K4 and K5 begin each morning with our morning devotional time, complete with affirmations, reciting the alphabet, days of the week, months of the year and counting. QEI's K4 and K5 Program of Study are designed to form a solid academic foundation. The curriculum emphasizes skills designed to build vocabulary, and the fundamentals of written expression. Additional focus is placed on the importance of Bible, science, social studies and the integration of concepts and skillsets that enhance future learning and development. Students at all grades also participate in physical education, dance, choir, art and creative writing.
