Pre-Kindergarten 4s and 5s

At OLL, our Pre-K philosophy is grounded in the research-based principle of learning through play. Our weekly emergent and project-based curriculum aligns with our mission to nurture hearts, inspire minds, and ignite spirits. By providing opportunities for play, we create a space where children's ideas shape the curriculum, leading to rich and meaningful learning experiences. In our classrooms, children are active participants in their learning journey, supported in all areas of development and encouraged to explore their autonomy.

The classroom environment is intentionally crafted to evoke beauty, wonder, and inquiry, while also showcasing the children's work. Each day, materials are thoughtfully prepared to inspire interest and foster a sense of community and belonging. Key areas within the classroom include resources for building, writing, math, science and nature, arts, reading, dramatic play, and special projects. A consistent daily schedule helps establish routines and includes time for outdoor exploration on the playground and in the garden.

In addition, our pre-kindergarten students enjoy activities with specialists in Physical Education, Music, and Library. They are integrated into the wider school community, participating in school families where students from all grade levels come together for service projects, community activities, and unique events like the Junior Olympics.

Join us in this vibrant learning environment where every child can thrive!
