Pre-Kindergarten
Fueling Imagination and Sparking Curiosity
Our Pre-K classes are small, loving environments where teachers know each student and can provide instruction based on how they learn best. We want students to love coming to school and to look forward to learning each and every day. This happy, active, and supportive environment gives students a head start as they begin their educational journey.
The Mason Prep Pre-K program is different from traditional preschool programs as it provides more structure and an emphasis on academics and Kindergarten readiness. Our program is a perfect fit for students who may not be quite ready for kindergarten and need a more robust academic experience.
Our Program
Foundational Learning
The Mason Prep Pre-K program is focused on academics and Kindergarten preparation. Lessons are taught in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way to foster a love of learning. Support and encouragement are cornerstones of our program, helping our youngest Knights build their confidence and independence.
Special Areas & Engagement
Pre-K Knights enjoy many opportunities for engagement and experiential learning. These include special area activities such as art and music and in-school field trips (a favorite is a visit from the Fire Department!). We believe that experiences outside of the academic curriculum are essential to a rich education. Weekly Special Area classes include: - Innovation & Design (STEM) - Music - Art - Social-Emotional Learning - Physical Education - Library
The Knight Community
Our Pre-K students are truly part of our Mason Prep family. They see older students in the hallways, hear morning announcements about students' accomplishments such as Knight of the Day, learn about our Castle system as “Squires,” and have special get-togethers with their older “Picture Pals.” By including our youngest students in all things MPS, they begin to understand the importance of learning and character, the foundations of an MPS education.
