Pre-Kindergarten

 

 

The Fox Den Pre-K provides an early educational program that focuses on the development of the whole person. We acknowledge each child as unique and seek to promote excellence, emotional stability, physical well-being and social responsibility within a safe, stimulating, positive and Christ-centered environment.

To accomplish this goal, we utilize the CREATIONkids Curriculum, adapted from the Creation Health wellness program developed by Florida Hospital (now known as AdventHealth). The CREATIONkids Curriculum:

[...] promotes the development of the whole child--head, hand and heart--and provides teachers guidance and support to meet the diverse needs of three and four year old children.
