PRE-KINDERGARTEN: WISE WALNUTS, RISING REDWOODS & OUTSTANDING OAKS

Child Care: Older 3s – 5s

They’re sooooo close, but there’s a bit more growth that needs to happen for these children to really be ready for Kindergarten. Chesterfield County’s Kindergarten admittance guidelines require that children have self-help skills, social and emotional maturity, the ability to function in a group, and academic readiness.

The goal of The Cedarhouse School Pre-Kindergarten program is to fully prepare each child socially, emotionally, physically, and academically for Kindergarten. In addition to the many innovative Preschool Program features, our Pre-K program offers:
