Our Curriculum
We love this exciting time of life! The 3-, 4- or 5-year-old student is blasting with imaginative ideas that can hardly be contained. At FDS Pre-K Program "Rising Stars," we guide your child to use their imagination to solve problems, learn concepts, play, build motor skills, and more. Our students will develop lasting independence and confidence that can build success in all areas of life.
We focus on the creative arts. We will engage our students to use art, music, social studies, dance and gymnastics, science, math, reading and writing, and more, including a hefty dose of imagination. With this power, both the right and left hemispheres of our students’ brains are developing, which builds knowledge while teaching essential skills for success and growth.
Through an exciting and fun hands-on curriculum at FDS Pre-K Program "Rising Stars," your child will develop a love of learning and will have the skills to embrace the challenge.
We are a unique program that focuses on eight curriculum areas every day. We do not leave dance and science for one day a week and make music and art on a single day - our students are engaged in all eight of our directions every day. This allows our students to absorb the concepts and apply them in different ways to all life areas.
