Preschool & TK

Preschool & TK Program

Welcome to our Preschool and Transitional Kindergarten program at St. Elisabeth School, a nurturing private Catholic school nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, CA. Our program is designed to lay a strong foundation for young learners, fostering both academic and spiritual growth in a warm, supportive environment.

Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K)

Our Pre-Kindergarten program is tailored for children aged 4 to 5, focusing on social, emotional, and cognitive development. With a curriculum enriched by the Catholic faith, we blend academic learning with values-based education. Our dedicated teachers create a stimulating environment where children engage in hands-on activities that promote curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

Children in our Pre-K program enjoy a variety of learning experiences, including:

Literacy and Numeracy: Through interactive storytime, phonics, and basic math concepts, we build early literacy and numeracy skills.

Art and Music: Creative expression is encouraged through art projects and musical activities, helping children develop fine motor skills and an appreciation for the arts.

Play-Based Learning: We understand that play is crucial for young children, so our program includes ample time for imaginative play, helping children learn important social skills and problem-solving abilities.

Transitional Kindergarten (TK)

Our Transitional Kindergarten program serves as a bridge between Pre-K and Kindergarten for children who are 5 years old but may need an extra year to develop foundational skills. This program is ideal for children who benefit from a more gradual transition into formal schooling.

In TK, we continue to build on the skills introduced in Pre-K while focusing on:

Advanced Literacy and Numeracy: Our curriculum introduces more complex concepts in a way that is engaging and developmentally appropriate, preparing students for Kindergarten.

Catholic Values and Ethics: We incorporate lessons on compassion, respect, and community, reflecting our commitment to holistic education.

Social and Emotional Growth: With a strong emphasis on building self-confidence and resilience, TK students are guided through activities that enhance their social skills and emotional intelligence.
