Tuition Preschool

Cedar Springs Public Schools offers a tuition-based PreK program for children ages 3 and 4 at our Early Childhood Center.
Our half-day program is designed to help young learners build confidence and prepare for a full day of school in the future. It is a great first step for students who may be experiencing school, classroom routines or time away from home for the first time. Students learn important skills such as following routines, building friendships, working independently and becoming comfortable in a school setting — helping make the transition to Young 5s or Kindergarten smoother and more successful.
We use the Connect4Learning curriculum to help children develop early skills in reading, writing, math, problem-solving and social growth. Our educators guide students as they plan activities, carry them out and share their learning with others.
Upon preschool graduation, students leave our program independent, responsible, confident and ready for their next step as a Red Hawk learner.
