Preschool/ PreK

Preschool preK

Wonderspring offers preschool and preK at its centers in Narberth, New Market West, Pottstown and Powelton Village.  Our preschool and pre-k program focuses on a child’s preparedness for kindergarten. Children are encouraged to learn about the world around them through a balance of play, exploration, and activities. Throughout the year, fine motor skills are practiced in fun and creative ways. Teachers use a project-based learning approach, planning activities based on children’s inquiries and interests of the study topics. For a sample schedule go here.
