PreK3

Not quite ready for PreK4? Our Pre-K3 Program is the perfect next step for your child!

Gessner Kiddie Kollege provides multiple Prek3 classrooms to maintain small child: staff ratios and to ensure a small group learning environment is maintained. As our younger preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they feel ready to take on the world! Our PreK3 classroom nurtures confidence through independent exploration, guided routines, and hands-on learning. At this age, children are curious, energetic, and eager to practice independence, so we provide a warm, structured environment with learning centers, thematic activities, and plenty of opportunities to explore.

Using the Frogstreet Curriculum, teachers build a strong foundation in early literacy through name recognition, letters, sounds, and storytelling. Math skills grow through counting, shapes, patterns, and simple problem-solving, while STEM, Spanish, music, art, dramatic play, and outdoor time encourage creativity, discovery, and joyful learning.

We also focus on key developmental areas that help children become confident problem-solvers and lifelong learners, including:

  • Cognitive development
  • Creative expression
  • Executive function
  • Language and literacy development
  • Physical development and wellness
  • Social and emotional development


In PreK3, students learn to take turns, share, use manners, follow directions, manage emotions, and build friendships. Our goal is to help every child feel successful, supported, and excited about learning as they prepare for PreK4 and beyond in a safe, nurturing environment.
