Pre-K
4 - 5 years
Our Pre-K program is designed to prepare children for a smooth and successful transition to kindergarten. Through project-based learning, small group instruction, and purposeful play, children practice early reading, writing, and math skills while continuing to grow socially and emotionally. The year ends with a special Pre-K Graduation Ceremony in May, where we celebrate each child’s accomplishments and the exciting adventures ahead.
“Ready, confident, and excited for kindergarten!”
Preparing for What Comes Next
Our Pre-K program gives children the confidence, knowledge, and independence they need for a successful start to kindergarten. Through purposeful play, project-based learning, and small group instruction, children develop strong academic and social foundations in a nurturing, encouraging environment.
This program is offered full-time only, ensuring that each child experiences the full range of activities and lessons designed to prepare them for elementary school success.
Building Kindergarten Readiness Skills
Our Pre-K curriculum focuses on all key areas of early learning while keeping play and exploration at the heart of each day.

Science and Discovery
experimenting, observing, and asking “why?”
Fine Motor Development

Social Skills and Emotional Maturity

Nurturing the Whole Child
At First Adventures Academy, we believe school readiness is about more than ABCs and 123s. It’s about helping children become curious thinkers, kind friends, and capable problem-solvers.
​
Our teachers use Conscious Discipline strategies to guide social and emotional development, giving children tools to communicate feelings, make thoughtful choices, and navigate friendships with empathy and respect.
Celebrating Growth and Achievement
The Pre-K year is one of the most exciting milestones in a child’s early education journey. We celebrate their progress and achievements throughout the year, culminating in our Pre-K Graduation Ceremony in May — a joyful event that honors all they’ve accomplished and looks forward to the adventures ahead.
Ready for the Road Ahead
By the end of our Pre-K program, children are confident, curious, and ready to take on kindergarten with excitement.
At First Adventures Academy, we’re proud to help each child reach this milestone — not just prepared for school, but eager for the lifelong adventure of learning.
