PRE-K

PRE-K

Pre-Kindergarten is generally from 4 to 5 years old - for some kids, it’s their last year until they enter the school system and start Kindergarten. Some kiddos, because of a birthday or they’re just plain not ready, will complete two years of pre-K and that's ok too!!


Every school, and/or school district is different when it comes to Kindergarten Entry. Some schools will let you test your child as early as 4 years old, some have to be 5 years old by August 1st, or by September 1st, you just have to check your desired school in your area. 

Eastgate Academy offers transportation in several school districts including Columbus, Olentangy, Hilliard City, Delaware City, Licking Heights, Gahanna, and some private/ parochial schools including St. Pius, St. Matthew, and St. Mary, please confirm with the center administrator as to space and if we are currently offering your school this particular school year as it is ever-changing.


Each school's teachers are responsible for making their schedule work for them and their kids, as the same template won't work every year: the following is an example of what a day in Pre-K may look like. All classrooms have their own restrooms for girls and boys, and all classes eat meals in their classes, in addition, all classes also have direct access to the outside playgrounds from their rooms.
