Great Bridge Presbyterian Preschool

4 Year Old Classes
The main goals of PK4 classes are to help children develop confidence to be independent workers and cooperative, helpful friends. Kindergarten readiness skills are an integral part of the day filled with investigation, exploration, and discovery. Teachers individualize instruction, using a variety of teaching techniques to help children develop critical thinking skills and a thirst for learning. Through directed play and free play activities, teachers encourage children to reach developmental milestones that will help them succeed in all areas of life.

We offer three classes:

Monday/Wednesday/Friday 9 am – Noon:
Two classes with 16 students each.

Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday 9 am-Noon:
One class with 16 students

Separate enrichment classes are offered in music and foreign language. A computer lab is offered to introduce the technical expertise necessary in the future and provide a different venue of skill development and creativity.

Physical needs are met by daily play on a safe, well-equipped playground and through classroom activities.

Children’s spiritual needs will be met by daily devotions, prayers and incorporation of God into daily discussions.

“Our daughter has truly blossomed in the last months and has grown to love school in ways I didn’t think possible. You can understand how much peace and comfort I get knowing she is with you for those hours we are apart. Thank you for sharing your gifts and love for her!”
