The teachers strive to teach positive social interactions, begin to work on literacy skills including identifying the letters in their names, & basic writing strokes. Students are also introduced to numbers, counting to 10 & beyond, identifying shapes & colors. Students in this class also work on self-help skills such as feeding & cleaning up after themselves, washing their hands, & completing the potty-training process.

Students in this class are four and five years old. The most effective feature of our Pre-Kindergarten curriculum is the focus on hands-on activities and learning. After attending Pre-Kindergarten at FBC Preschool, students are prepared for a smooth transition to Kindergarten. Pre-Kindergarten graduates know all of the letters of the alphabet (both capital and small letters), they know the sounds the letters make, will be able to identify some sounds heard in words and translate that into their writing. Graduates of our Pre-K classes are also able to count to 100, identify numbers to 20, and perform beginning addition through story problems.
