Pre-K

Our Pre –K program focuses on Kindergarten preparedness, social finesse, and a mastery of gross motor skills. Each day our Teachers balance opportunity for independent discovery, cooperative learning, computer access, and outdoor playtime.

Bright Kidz has implemented STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) in the Preppers , Preschool and Pre-K classes daily lesson plans. 

One main objective of a STEAM education is to give children an authentic learning experience related to a real-world context. It includes multi step questions, multiple ways to approach a problem, integration across disciplines, and failure – a necessary part of learning and growing. 

Early exposure to STEAM helps children develop crucial communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The earlier they get comfortable with STEAM concepts, the easier it is for them as they grow. 

Our teachers act as guide or facilitator for the STEAM activities prompting the children to use a hands-on approach and coming to their own conclusion.
