KinderPrep Preschool

KinderPrep is the ideal class for parents interested in “redshirting” their child for a year prior to enrolling in Kindergarten. The University of Stanford recently released a study on the subject for parents interested in learning why it may be beneficial.

The curriculum will teach essential early learning skills, executive functioning skills, critical thinking skills, fine motor development; it will build literacy skills, self-confidence, social skills and organization. Independent learning along with pivotal academics needed for Kindergarten will also be taught.

“KinderPrep is an excellent option for kids that are not yet ready to attend kindergarten. My son has a late Fall birthday and needed an extra year to mature and gain new skills for school. Rather than having him repeat another preschool year with younger kids, this class was perfect for him. The teachers are excellent and the entire Rush Nursery school staff was such a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend the school and the KinderPrep class!"

Classroom Communication

Each week our teachers send an email to parents titled ‘Peek of the Week.’ It includes our weekly lessons, songs, crafts, activities, and helpers. Sharing what we do in the classroom is important to us so parents can follow along and support children’s learning at home.

Example: KinderPrep Peek of the Week

We also use an app, ClassDojo, to share pictures and class updates with parents. You’ll only have access to your child’s specific class.
