Every ABC Great Beginnings preschool and pre-K class, at every one of our centers, follows the same research-based, whole-child curriculum. Here is what your child learns.

The same trusted curriculum, in every classroom

Our classrooms use Teaching Strategies, the research-based early-learning curriculum used in programs nationwide, brought to life through hands-on monthly themes so learning is purposeful and fun all year long.

💬 Communication

Vocabulary, storytelling, and our name-first path into early reading.

🤸 Gross Motor

Movement, yoga, and active play that builds strong, confident bodies.

✏️ Fine Motor

Art, tracing, and hands-on work that prepares little hands to write.

🔍 Problem Solving

Real STEM challenges: plan it, build it, test it, make it better.

🤝 Social & Emotional

We teach social-emotional skills with the Kimochis® program, so children learn to name feelings and get along.

🎨 Creativity & the Arts

Open-ended art, music, and imaginative play woven through every monthly theme.

A full school year of learning, wonder, and play

Every month brings a new theme packed with discovery, books, songs, art, and science.

Reading starts with their name

We begin with the letters in each child's own name, then build to the full alphabet and letter sounds.

Little scientists & engineers

Ramps, gardens, recycling, simple machines. Children predict, build, and test real ideas.

Kind, confident kids

Daily morning meetings, cooperative play, and social-emotional learning build confidence for kindergarten.

Teach. Measure. Show.

We grow the whole child, with kindergarten readiness as the focus, and we measure it on the Pre-Kindergarten Entry and Exit Profile (PEEP) so growth is something you can see.

01

Teach

A full year of themed, play-based learning with a name-first path into letters and sounds.

02

Measure

Readiness measured on the PEEP profile at the start and the end of the year.

A simple, parent-friendly snapshot of your child's growth each season.

Your child's path with us

From your first tour through every season, here is how we get to know your family and grow the whole child, with kindergarten readiness as the focus.

The ABC Great Beginnings enrollment process: you need care, tour, build trust, register, then assessment. That assessment feeds a recurring 120-day cycle of child growth and development, intentional play-based learning, and a parent conference, repeating every term.

More than the average preschool

Many preschools run out of a home, a church basement, or a single room. Ours run inside full, licensed early-learning centers.

Questions parents ask

How old does my child need to be for preschool?
Our preschool and pre-K program is for children ages 3 through pre-kindergarten. We also have an age-appropriate curriculum for toddlers and two-year-olds, so younger children can learn and grow with us too.
What curriculum do you use?
Every classroom follows Teaching Strategies, a research-based, whole-child curriculum, organized across the year into hands-on monthly themes covering early literacy, math, science, the arts, and social-emotional learning.
How do you know my child is ready for kindergarten?
Kindergarten readiness is our focus, and we measure it on the Pre-Kindergarten Entry and Exit Profile (PEEP) at the start and end of the year, then share a simple summary so you can see how far your child has grown.
Are meals provided?
Yes. Breakfast and lunch are included, prepared on site.
How will I know how my child is doing?
You can stay in the loop through our parent communication app, and your child will bring projects home, a simple window into what they are learning. We also share a readiness summary at the start and end of the year.
Do you offer full-day and before- and after-school care?
Yes. Our centers are full-service, with infant through school-age care and busing to local schools, so you can add hours or step up to full-day care in the same building whenever your family is ready.
