Preschool & Kindergarten Readiness Starts Here
Building early skills with confidence, care, and play
The early years lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning. At The Learning Hive, our Preschool Prep and Kindergarten Prep classes (one hour, once per week) help young learners build the skills, confidence, and enthusiasm they need to thrive in school and beyond.
Through hands-on, play-based learning and structured, evidence-backed instruction, children explore literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills in a warm, flexible environment - without pressure or overwhelm.
Program Levels
Preschool Prep and Kindergarten Prep run as one hour classes, once per week. These short, focused sessions give young learners a gentle, structured introduction to early literacy, math, and school routines without overwhelming them.
Level 1: Preschool Prep - Parent & Child (ages ~2.5–4)
A gentle first step into structured learning.
In this level, a parent attends with their child to provide comfort and support while we introduce early school routines, fine motor activities, early phonological awareness, language-rich play, and hands-on exploration.
This class is perfect for young learners who are new to group settings and benefit from having a familiar adult close by.
Level 2: Preschool Prep - Independent Learners
For children who have gained confidence and are ready for a little more independence.
In this next stage, parents no longer attend. Children continue to build language skills, early phonics awareness, early numeracy, and fine motor strength through guided, playful activities.
The focus is on confidence, independence, following routines, and enjoying learning with peers.
Kindergarten Prep (ages 4–5)
A readiness-focused class for children preparing to enter JK or SK, or those who need more foundational support.
We introduce early phonics, handwriting readiness, storytelling, number sense, patterning, and problem-solving, all in a calm, predictable setting that helps children feel capable and excited for their next steps.
Children progress through these levels at their own pace. Some move quickly, others take more time - we follow each child’s readiness, not their age or peers.
