PRE-K
Pre-K is held Tuesdays and Thursdays 12:30 - 2:30 PM.
Pre-K is for 4 and 5-year-olds offering an alternative to traditional TK. Although Pre-K is designed to complement and build upon our preschool program, enrollment is not limited to current OCP students. Pre-K is open to all 4 and 5-year-olds and can serve as a stand-alone program for families as well!
A maximum of 12 students may enroll.
OCP's Teacher and two working parents are present each day (child:adult ratio 4 to 1)
LEARNING AND GROWING!
To build on the socialization and enrichment of the OCP preschool experience, OCP Pre-K incorporates an age-appropriate curriculum designed to prepare children for kindergarten.
Students bring lunch from home and sit together for a lunch period before the pre-k afternoon starts.
