Pre-K Program (Ages 3-4 Years)

Where Young Learners Build Skills and Self-Confidence

In our Pre-K program at Playtime Daycare & Learning Center, children build the academic foundation they need for Kindergarten through structured, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Students develop early literacy skills such as letter recognition, letter sounds, phonics awareness, and name writing, along with number recognition and basic math concepts. Through small group instruction, hands-on activities, and guided practice, children gain confidence following directions, participating in discussions, and completing age-appropriate tasks independently.
