La Canada PreSchool

Our children in the Pre-K are being introduced to the educational skills that kindergarten programs both public and private are looking for.

We believe that our program provides a place for children to continue their learning through play, with a developmental base. We will introduce phonics through the Zoo Phonics program, math through hands on counting, sorting and classification, as well as writing upper and lower case letters. We believe that if it is introduced in a fun, exploratory way, we can expose children to the simple academic concepts that kindergarten teachers are looking for. Readiness comes as a process, and we allow each child to approach being ready for kindergarten at their own level.

Our Pre-k staff consists of Diana Given, who has taught this program for the past two years, and acts as the leasd teacher in this program. Danielle Alvarez is her assistant teacher, while Rosemary Martinelli and Debbie Bacino are the teachers aides.
