Preschool

The ultimate preschool experience for children ages 3 to 5


Our preschool classrooms are a partnership between KVCAP, Head Start and local public schools. Your child will take part in activities that help him or her prepare for school with a focus on:

  • Approaches to learning
  • Cognition and general knowledge
  • Language and literacy
  • Physical development and health
  • Social and emotional development
