Voluntary Pre Kindergarten

Pre-kindergarten is a critical time for children as they are learning and doing more. Our Voluntary Pre-K program is Gold Seal Approved by our local DCF Child Care Program Office who is responsible for approving accredited agencies for participation in the Gold Seal Quality Care Program. These accredited agencies must meet or exceed the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) standards, the standards of the National Association of Family Child Care, or the standards of the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation Commission.

Our caring, experienced teachers are dedicated to providing a learning rich, nurturing environment that will prepare your child for kindergarten. We promote independence within an organized atmosphere, allowing our Pre-K's to be their own thinkers. We also emphasize working well within a group through listening, sharing and cooperation.

At SELC, we work daily with our Pre-Ks to cultivate the following:

  • Preparation for kindergarten and future success in school
  • Whole-group activities to develop social skills
  • Development of a stronger vocabulary through letters and words
  • Further independent, creative learning through hands-on experiences
  • Half-day and Full-day programs are available
