What is Core Knowledge for preschool?

Core Knowledge was founded by Dr. E.D. Hirsch in 1986. In 1997 the preschool program was added. The Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence provides a detailed outline of knowledge and competencies young children need in order to build a solid foundation for later learning.

The Preschool Sequence guidelines address five dimensions of readiness:

Physical Well-being and Motor Development
Knowledge Acquisition and Cognitive Development
Work Habits and Approaches to Learning
Language Development
Social and Emotional Development

We have found that Core Knowledge can develop the skills and knowledge that will help build a strong foundation for future education. We feel that there is a real need for this type of curriculum in the preschool setting. Preschool is an excellent time to start preparing your child for higher education. We want your child’s experience with us to create a lifetime love of learning. Join us in a grass-roots effort to strengthen your child’s elementary education.



*Developing the whole child: mind, body and spirit!* We strive to develop healthy and confident children of all ages and encourage a life-long love of fitness. We build the foundation of your child's future...today!
