Pre-Kindergarten
Our Pre-K Program provides a nurturing, faith-filled environment that helps children grow with confidence as they prepare for the exciting transition to kindergarten. Through meaningful play, intentional instruction, and loving guidance, children develop strong academic foundations, social skills, and independence.
Curriculum Overview
Pre-K students engage in early reading and writing experiences, including letter recognition, sounds, vocabulary development, and storytelling. Foundational math and science concepts such as counting, shapes, simple addition, and nature exploration are introduced through hands-on activities. Bible stories
reinforce faith-based values, while creative projects and structured play help children practice focus, independence, and problem-solving—skills essential for a smooth kindergarten transition.
Health & Safety Licensing
Presbyterian Day School’s Pre-K Program follows Tennessee DHS Child Care Licensing Regulations and aligns with TN-ELDS standards. Teachers are state-licensed or working toward certification and receive required CPR, first-aid, and emergency preparedness training. State-required child-to-staff ratios are maintained, typically one teacher to thirteen children with an assistant present. Age-appropriate developmental screenings support individual growth and kindergarten readiness.
