Pre Kindergarten Program

In the Cactus Kids Pre-Kindergarten Program, we will bring out and help develop your child’s emotional, physical, and cognitive needs. Parents are a child’s first teacher. A child that receives early childhood education before age 5, is more likely to succeed in grade school, high school, and beyond.

Quality pre-kindergarten is more than just an “early start”. Studies have shown how quality pre-kindergarten programs can help kids establish a love of learning that will benefit them their entire lives.

We pride ourselves on providing personally appropriate teacher-child relationships while providing an evolving and creative curriculum in high-quality classrooms.

Pre-Kindergarten Readiness

Our Pre-Kindergarten Program provides activities that engage and prepare your child for Kindergarten. Our teachers sit down with your child and write about their day, helping their creative writing process and language skills.

Each child will feel as though they belong, with pictures of them decorating the classrooms, giving them a sense of belonging at Cactus Kids.

As we read and tell stories with your child, it helps to create meaningful conversations with them, giving each child a chance to voice their own thoughts and views.
