A Beka Pre-K is the same rate as the full-time weekly rate for daycare. Monday - Friday, 6:30 AM - 6:00 PM is $170.00 per week. If you choose to participate only in the curriculum portion of the day, the rate is $120.00 M - F, 6:30 - pickup by 2:00. The children are fed breakfast and lunch. This is considered half-day private Pre-K.

A Beka Pre-K is a fulfilling program designed to teach phonics and numbers alongside the Bible and biblical principles Children learn Bible songs and memory verses and are taught a daily Bible lesson and complete corresponding worksheets to ensure comprehension.
 
Through the phonics curriculum, children will learn to sound and blend letters to form words and sentences... they will be READING! Students also learn handwriting in a program correlated with phonics.

They learn to count orally to 100, to count and recognize numbers 1-50 out of sequences, as well as numbers concepts and simple mathematics (addition and subtraction.) 

Students develop their fine motor skills through cutting and pasting, manipulatives such as lacing cards, sewing beads, blocks, various art activities including painting and play-doh. 

Drama, poetry, finger-plays, music and movement, and sketchbook aid in the development of comprehension, language, and thinking abilities.
