We want to be sure your child, age 4 or 5, is ready to enter kindergarten after completing pre-kindergarten at First Kids. Our pre-kindergarten teachers will help your child know the alphabet and count to 10. Your child will also practice writing their name daily, as well as writing in their writing journal. Reading is also a focus in our pre-kindergarten classroom. From listening to stories to rhyming words, your child will be exposed to reading readiness skills upon completing pre-kindergarten and First Kids. 

Daily activities include eight learning domains:

• Language/Literacy
• Math
• Science
• Social Studies
• Creative Arts
• Social/Emotional 
• Approaches to Learning
• Physical Development/Health

Your child will love our hands-on curriculum! From conducting science experiments to learning through play, your child will develop a love for learning at First Kids ECC. Curriculum activities are designed to address established early learning goals and standards throughout the United States. Our curriculum follows Missouri Early Learning Goals set forth by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. 

In the pre-kindergarten classroom, your child will have opportunities for individual expression and to practice decision making. This classroom environment promotes skills and discipline, inspires creativity, encourages flexibility, and allows for emotional release.
