Howard County Preschool

Our Howard County Pre-K program prepares children for kindergarten as they learn phonics and the principles of emergent reading, writing, mathematical concepts, and all other academic domains. We support their ability to enter Kindergarten as strong, eager, and confident learners. We focus on building social and emotional skills that help them understand, above all, the importance of being a good human being.

Our students have a diverse range of opportunities to integrate learning into life experiences. We have a series of six week studies that encourage children to see how each concept can be found in all areas of their daily lives. We pair their learning with regular field trips and visitors that help to make abstract concepts more concrete.

We pride ourselves on getting the children excited about the differences among people and promote a diverse environment. We have regular opportunities for family involvement both during and outside of school hours. Our children are able to enroll in gymnastics, dance, language, yoga, soccer, and a multitude of other extracurricular opportunities. The family as a whole is able to grow with us as we grow as a school and a community right outside of Columbia & Ellicott City, MD.
