Pre-K Program
Preparing Children for Kindergarten and a Lifetime of Learning
Our Pre-K program is designed to help children build the academic, social, and emotional skills they need for a successful transition to kindergarten. Through The Creative Curriculum®, hands-on learning, and meaningful relationships, children develop the confidence, independence, and foundational skills needed for a successful transition to kindergarten.
Kindergarten Readiness
Kindergarten readiness is about more than learning letters and numbers. Our teachers encourage children to think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and work confidently with others while developing the academic skills needed for elementary school.
📚 Early Literacy
Children build language and early reading skills through stories, letter recognition, writing activities, and meaningful conversations.
🔢 Math & Problem Solving
Hands-on activities help children develop number sense, counting, patterns, measurement, and critical thinking skills.
🌎 Science & Discovery
Children explore the world around them by asking questions, experimenting, observing, and making discoveries through everyday experiences.
🎨 Creativity & Self-Expression
Art, music, dramatic play, and creative projects encourage imagination while helping children express themselves with confidence.
🤝 Social & Emotional Growth
Learning to cooperate, solve problems, communicate, and work together helps children build confidence and prepare for success in kindergarten.
Learning Through The Creative Curriculum®
Our Pre-K classroom uses The Creative Curriculum® to provide engaging, hands-on learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Through purposeful play, small-group activities, and teacher-guided learning, children develop the academic and social skills needed for kindergarten while discovering the joy of learning.
Meet Your Pre-K Teacher Mrs. Sarah
Hey there! My name is Sarah McClure! I grew up in sunny Southern California before moving to Phoenix in my teen years. Growing up, I loved playing sports like basketball and softball, and was always a very avid reader! Reading continues to be a passion of mine to this day, and I’m so grateful to be able to share my love of literature with young learners! I’ve always known that I wanted to work in education, and focused heavily on childhood development while getting my degree in Psychology from UCLA. While in college, I spent lots of time leading an on-campus organization that benefited a women’s shelter in Santa Monica. I also devoted time to my growing interest in art, so it is not uncommon to find me doodling or coloring in my free time! After graduating, I found myself longing for a career that held meaning to me, and that’s when I found Amore Preschool! I have now worked at Amore for almost a year, and my work is my pride and joy! I love having the opportunity to help your children grow and learn!
