Preston Hollow Presbyterian PreK uses a play-based instructional model where we focus on the cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development of each child. Using hands-on learning approach allows students the opportunity to be creative and expressive in the learning environment to support the early childhood developmental needs.

The PreK classrooms use exploratory centers which include: Imaginative play, library, open-ended art, science, music and movement, fine motor manipulatives, and gross motor activities. This is also a time where teachers can do small group instruction to support each child’s learning needs.

PreK focuses on early literacy skills, which includes language development. The students engage in activities that reinforce group read-alouds, music, and circle-time activities. Learning Without Tears curriculum is a core component of our program. It provides age-appropriate pre-writing, pre-reading, and pre-math kindergarten readiness skills.

The foundation of PreK is social and emotional learning. Helping early childhood students learn how to communicate what they are feeling is a valuable life skill. Our PreK creates daily opportunities to teach sharing, listening skills, and conflict resolution. Our goal is to build the self-esteem and spiritual awareness of each Preston Hollow child in an environment that stimulates a child’s awareness of the world around them.
