​4K Prekindergarten

Picture7.jpg
We offer an AM 4K session 8:35 – 11:45 Monday through Thursday. Children are required to attend 2 full or 2 half days of wrap around child care before and/or after 4K programming Monday through Thursday or Fridays (UWSP Student Parents are excluded from this requirement). The Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) will be used as a guideline for four-year-old kindergarten. The Second Step curriculum which promotes emotional management and recognition, empathy training, and role playing is intergrated into the WMELS curriculum standards.  WMELS allow the program to be play-based and child-initiated.
 
 
All families eligable to register their child for Four Year Old Kindergarten (4K) can do so at the Bliss Educational Services Center located at 1900 Polk Street in Stevens Point.

Pre-4K Program

​ Just miss the 4K age cut-off? Wanting to wait an additional year before starting your child? Looking for a shorter, socialization opportunity for your child? Considering skipping 4K but still wanting your child to have an abbreviated expereince? ​This is the program for you!

The Pre-4K program operates Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons weekly from 12:30pm - 3:3​0pm.  Children must be 4 years old to participate in this program and be potty trained.  The Pre-4K program runs from Labor Day to Memorial Day.  

School preparations are stressed in a developmentally appropriate environment. Many hands-on learning activities are provided in the child-centered classroom to help develop the whole child. Child development is focused on in the areas of health and physical, social and emotional, language and communication, approaches to learning, and cognition and general knowledge. Reading, movement, art projects, daily chores, dramatic play, block building, and quiet play are just some of the activities incorporated into a well-rounded early learning curriculum. The daily plans are inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, reflecting the world around us and the interests of the students​
