Lesson Plan

Our Big Beginning Lesson Plan

Foster a welcoming classroom environment and help Pre-K students learn names, basic routines, and feel comfortable on their first day by exploring the room, meeting peers, and practicing group songs.

A smooth transition into school builds trust, community, and emotional safety for young learners. Establishing routines and relationships early supports engagement, reduces anxiety, and sets a positive tone for the year.
