Pre-K: Play-Based & Whole Child
Metro Schools’ early childhood education programs focus on a high-quality, play-based curriculum that supports the development of the whole child and prepares children for kindergarten.
Our pre-kindergarten curriculum is focused on the constructivist approach, which provides diverse learning environments where activities are driven by the students, and teachers encourage and support children to play and explore as a path to learning.
Our Pre-K curriculum focuses on all areas that are important for school success:
- Social-emotional
- Cognitive
- Math
- Literacy
- Physical
- Language
- Social Studies
- Science and Technology
- The Arts
MNPS’ Pre-K program provides support services, such as Extended Learning (Before and After Care), Nutrition Services, Family Engagement, Family Empowerment and Health services to support our Pre-K families and students. Review the MNPS Pre-K Program Guide to see what each school offers.
