The East Irondequoit Pre-Kindergarten program addresses the social/emotional and instructional needs of our youngest learners.  We provide a safe, nurturing environment for students to explore, be creative, ask questions, and pursue interests. Our Highscope curriculum encourages our children to excel in literacy and cognitive learning, but also to develop the fundamental skills that help determine success in adult life.
