Pre-Kindergarten (3-5 years old)
Trusted Preschool & Pre-K in Meriden, CT
Building Skills for Kindergarten and Beyond
The preschool and Pre-K years are an important time for developing independence, communication, problem-solving and early academic skills. Children ages 3 to 5 are becoming more confident, more social and increasingly ready to take on new challenges through hands-on learning, creative play and structured classroom experiences.
At Fairy Tales Child Care & Development Center, our preschool and Pre-K programs are designed to help children grow at each stage of development. Three-year-olds are encouraged to build routines, language and social skills, while older preschoolers ages 4 and 5 focus more on kindergarten readiness, early literacy, math concepts, cooperation and confidence as they prepare for the transition to school.
Preparing Young Minds for What Comes Next
Where engaging learning, creative exploration and supportive guidance help preschool and Pre-K children build confidence, independence and kindergarten-ready skills.
What our parents are saying …
Our Pre-K program is designed for children who are preparing for kindergarten, typically between the ages of 3 and 5. We focus on helping each child build the academic, social, emotional, and independence skills needed for a confident transition to school.
Children develop early literacy, math, problem-solving, communication, and classroom skills through hands-on learning and structured activities. We also help children practice following routines, listening, sharing, working in groups, and becoming more independent.
Each day includes a balance of teacher-guided learning, creative activities, imaginative play, music, movement, outdoor play, meals, rest time, and opportunities for children to explore their interests. Our routines provide structure while still allowing plenty of time for children to learn through play.
Toilet training readiness can vary from child to child. We encourage families to contact us to discuss their child’s individual needs and where they are in the toilet-training process.
Meals and snack options may vary depending on enrollment and program schedules. Families are encouraged to contact Fairy Tales Child Care & Development Center for current information about meals, snacks, dietary needs, and food policies.
Communication with families is an important part of our program. Our teachers share updates about your child’s day, development, classroom experiences, and milestones so parents can stay connected to what their child is learning and experiencing.
