Pre - Kindergarten
Four year olds will be improving old skills while developing new ones. Everything new is of interest and their curiosity is abundant with overflowing energy. Children this age need a lot of gross motor activities and they don’t like to sit for long periods. They have a wild imagination, are extremely verbal and may use potty language. Friends are important and they are sociable.
