Pre-K & Little Cats
Pre-Kindergarten
Students who turn four on or before September 1, 2023 are eligible for pre-kindergarten classes. Pre-kindergarten classes have been shown to increase language and literacy skills, boost confidence in students and increase test scores. Pre-kindergarten classes follow the same schedule as elementary school classes. Students learn how to behave in a classroom setting, work with their peers and adjust to a school schedule. By the time a student graduates from pre-kindergarten, they are fully prepared and ready for kindergarten.

Little Cats
Our Little Cats program serves children in between the ages of three and four years old that are not currently attending a GA Pre-K program. Little Cats is a bilingual, two-generation program to educate parents with their children in educational strategies of playing, reading and talking with their 3 and 4-year-old children through basic literacy and numeracy skills, fine and large motor skills in preparation to be ready for Pre-K or Kindergarten.
