The Clarke County School District
Pre-Kindergarten Program is helping our children
prepare for school by providing age-appropriate
experiences. Recognizing that parents are the
childs first and most important teachers, the
Pre-K program involves parents as one of the best
ways to ensure a childs success. The Pre-K daily
schedule is filled with fun activities that
develop skills and address individual needs.
Children are encouraged to learn at their own
level and pace. We have fun come join us and
share in that fun.
