The Lightning (4 year old, Pre-Kindergarten) class is designed to meet the needs of each child by getting him/her ready for Kindergarten.  The students follow a consistent schedule and have goals that meet each individual's needs.  These goals are discussed at fall and spring conferences with parents to ensure partnership of quality care and value of the child's education.  Lessons are purposeful, designed learning experiences that guarantee state standards are met and life-skills, career-skills and school-readiness is developed.
