Apple Creek’s Pre-Kindergarten program utilizes the Read, Write and Listen program from MacMillan/McGraw Hill as an integral part of the curriculum. Read, Write and Listen is a comprehensive reading/language arts program including reading, handwriting, and auditory and oral language skills. Students work through a set of 24 letter books learning to identify and write each letter, identify the sound each letter makes and blend those sounds together to form words. Games, exercises and art projects emphasizing each letter give children practice and experience while developing essential reading and language skills.

Hands on, manipulative activities are the foundation of the Pre-K math program, structured from McGraw/McGraw Hill’s Math in My World - Kindergarten curriculum. Students reinforce number recognition and counting to 100, as well as develop essential skills in graphing, measuring, beginning geometry, and concepts of time and money.

The Pre-K program would not be complete without the creative areas of art and music, an introduction to Spanish vocabulary, fun and exciting science exploration and a multicultural approach to social studies.
