Pre-Kindergarten
Fine Arts Preparatory School is dedicated to nurturing young minds and fostering a lifelong love for learning. Our Pre-Kindergarten program prepares students not only for future academic success but also for a rich and fulfilling life enriched by the arts and a strong foundation in literacy and mathematics. We understand the importance of a strong educational foundation during the early years.
Our Pre-Kindergarten curriculum aligns closely with the South Carolina Early Childhood Standards to ensure that students meet key developmental milestones in areas such as language development, motor skills, social-emotional growth, and more. Through cooperative play, problem-solving activities, and guided interactions, students develop crucial social skills and emotional resilience. Every child is unique, and we recognize the importance of tailored support. Experienced educators provide individualized attention to ensure that each student progresses at their own pace to reach full potential.
