Pre-K Little Knights Program

NRCA Pre-K is FULL for the 2023-2024 School Year.

Pre-K Little Knights

The Little Knights Pre-K classes are designed to bridge the gap between preschool and kindergarten.  A carefully planned curriculum provides an enriched learning experience to enhance the child’s age-appropriate development.  Our degreed and certified teachers guide the children through a theme-based curriculum that includes four basic skills: Verbal and Linguistics, Gross and Fine Motor Skills, Logic  and Mathematics, and Social and Interpersonal Relationships.  Bible, art, music, PE, computer, and Spanish complement and enhance this curriculum.  SmartBoard technology is incorporated in the classroom and teachers use a variety of assessments and individualized instructional strategies to support the learning styles of each child.  Our goal is to foster the individual growth of each child spiritually, socially, academically, and physically.
