Pre-K

In our co-educational pre-kindergarten program for children age 4, young learners are encouraged to approach each new challenge with enthusiasm and joy.

Our curriculum is carefully balanced to introduce literacy, math, cultural studies, science, and religion, all wrapped up in creative exploration, self-discovery, and the beginnings of faith-based learning.

Kindergarten

Kindergarteners are naturally inquisitive, and at Oak Knoll, we cultivate this curiosity by providing opportunities for our young learners to explore, create, and discover.

Our kindergarten program is designed to introduce students to a rich educational experience that includes technology, world languages, science, language arts, math, and social studies, alongside a variety of extracurriculars such as physical education, music, drama, dance, and art.
