BertTM Room
A Private Pre K Daycare (ABeka curriculum)
We focus on the development of the whole child. Our Pre-Kindergarten Program promotes a positive environment for learning and growing. Our Teachers help children to learn how to establish positive, constructive relationships with adults and children. They also plan and implement a coherent curriculum to help children achieve important developmental and learning goals. Our teachers recognize learning experiences are more effective when the curriculum is responsive to the children’s interests and ideas.
Whether it’s math, reading, writing, science, etc … your child’s early experiences and achievements will help him/her prepare for a lifetime of success in school and the world that they live in. Our curriculum will help to prepare the children enrolled in our Pre K daycare through the everyday experiences needed for their upcoming Elementary School years.
