K-PREP

The K-Prep program has been developed to provide a transitional year of school prior to Kindergarten.  Through small class size and qualified, gifted educators, “K Prep” offers a theme-based program with an emphasis on literacy skills and phonics to address each child’s individual needs. The goal of “K Prep” is to build independence and provide each child with daily opportunities for success in a school environment, thus serving as an invaluable stepping stone for future academic growth. 

K Prep will follow the Linn-Mar school calendar, and is in session from September through the end of May.  Children who are four and five years old and born before September 15th are eligible for admission to this class. 

K Prep offers an integrated developmentally appropriate program in a nurturing atmosphere that gets children off to a great start, lays the foundation for young children to be successful learners, and prepares them for a positive and successful school experience.

The K-Prep program is a program designed through Hand In Hand, Inc and Jolly Phonics.

Jolly Phonics is a thorough foundation for reading and writing.  It teaches the letter sounds in an enjoyable, multisensory way, and enables children to use them to read and write words.
