Our Programs
PK 4's
The main goals of PK4 classes are to help children develop confidence to be independent workers and cooperative, helpful friends.
Kindergarten readiness skills are an integral part of the day filled with investigation, exploration, and discovery. Teachers individualize instruction, using a variety of teaching techniques to help children develop critical thinking skills and a thirst for learning. Through directed play and free play activities, teachers encourage children to reach developmental milestones that will help them succeed in all areas of life.

"I’ve appreciated the balance between crafts, worksheets/learning activities, and religious lessons—none of it overwhelms the rest.
Social skills are taught and reinforced with real consistency: sharing, 'being a friend,' and how to function in a classroom community."

At Great Bridge Presbyterian Preschool, it's easy to stay connected.
We use the Brightwheel app to communicate throughout the school year, including during the summer before school starts.
You can update all of your student's information, including who is allowed to pick up your child, medical information, and more. All registration, billing, financial transactions, and parent communication are conducted through Brightwheel.
