Pre-K that aligns with Kindergarten in Connecticut — and beyond.
Three- and four-year-olds are naturally hungry for active learning opportunities in a social environment. That’s why Strong Start’s Pre-K program delivers hands-on, authentic experiences led by professional teachers trained in the inquiry approach. We provide endless opportunities across our full curriculum to help your child acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to create a foundation for success in school—and life.
Learning what school will be like each and every day.
Our program aligns with the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards, supporting development across eight important domains: cognition, literacy, math, science, social studies, social-emotional, physical, and creative arts. Strong Start helps establish the emotional intelligence, technology literacy, communication skills, and collaboration that your child will need to be a happy, productive, and resilient learner in the coming years.
Benefits of Pre-school
Some parents wonder whether or not their child really needs pre-school. As a parent, it may seem like they are too young to be sent off to a place for hours a day, outside of the home. However, preschool is exactly what children need during this critical time in their development. Preschool provides a foundation for learning, providing them with the academic and social skills they need to succeed in school, and in life.
Children are naturally curious and want to learn. Providing them with the opportunity to attend pre-school will allow them to be surrounded by new and exciting experiences that will help them grow and develop into the people they were meant to be. Along the way, they’ll get to play, make new friends, and mature mentally and emotionally. As a parent, when you enroll your child in the Strong Start pre-school program, you can rest assured that your child is being well-cared for by teachers who want them to become the best they can be.
The following are just a few more reasons why pre-school is so important:
- Builds Cognitive And Social Skills: Pre-school programs offer a range of activities and experiences that help children develop their cognitive and social skills. Through activities such as puzzles, storytelling, and group play, children learn problem-solving, communication, and teamwork.
- Teaches Responsibility And Independence: Pre-school fosters independence and helps children develop a sense of responsibility. Tasks like tidying up after playtime and taking care of personal belongings instill important life skills that are essential for their future.
- Prepares Children For Kindergarten: A quality pre-school program prepares children for the transition to kindergarten by introducing them to a structured learning environment. They learn classroom routines, develop listening skills, and practice following instructions.
- Provides Opportunities To Learn And Explore New Things: Pre-school is a place where children are encouraged to be curious and explore their interests. Through age-appropriate activities and materials, they are exposed to a wide range of subjects, fostering a love for learning.
- Boosts Math And Literacy Skills: Pre-school programs incorporate math and literacy activities to lay the foundation for future academic success. Children engage in counting, sorting, letter recognition, and storytelling exercises, helping them develop early math and literacy skills.
- Encourages Children To Be Curious And Ask Questions: Pre-school teachers create an environment that fosters curiosity and encourages children to ask questions. This promotes a love for learning and helps children develop critical thinking skills.
- Provides A Structured Environment To Learn And Grow: Pre-school offers a structured environment that helps children develop a sense of routine and responsibility. Through daily schedules and consistent expectations, children learn to navigate and thrive in a structured learning environment.
