Pre-K Program
Dee’s House offers a comprehensive and well-rounded Pre-K program. Every child that attends our program is known as a scholar. They will learn the necessary skills and concepts needed to make a smooth transition to kindergarten.
Dee’s House provides high-quality educational experiences to enhance each scholar’s readiness for grade school. Our program is based on the North Carolina Pre-K Program Requirements to ensure that scholars are prepared to succeed academically and socially.
Social & Emotional Development
Dee’s House supports each scholar in building self-awareness as a unique individual who can form positive relationships, overcome challenges with resilience, and show kindness and respect to others.
Our program offers opportunities for scholars to engage in art activities that allow them to explore their own feelings and develop empathy for others. These experiences strengthen emotional intelligence and encourage healthy social growth. Collaborative tasks, such as solving puzzles with a partner, also help scholars build reasoning skills and understand the value of teamwork.
Cognitive Development
Dee’s House provides scholars with engaging experiences that build critical thinking, problem-solving, and early math skills. Through hands-on activities such as counting games, science explorations, and pattern recognition, scholars strengthen their ability to observe, reason, and make connections. These experiences prepare them for success in future academic learning.
Language & Literacy Development
Strong language and literacy skills are the foundation for lifelong learning. At Dee’s House, scholars are encouraged to build vocabulary, strengthen listening skills, and express themselves through conversation, storytelling, and early writing. Exposure to a variety of books and literacy activities helps scholars develop a love for reading while preparing them for kindergarten expectations.
Physical Development & Health
Healthy bodies support healthy minds. Our program provides daily opportunities for both fine motor and gross motor development through activities such as drawing, building, climbing, and outdoor play. Scholars also learn about healthy habits, nutrition, and self-care routines that foster independence and overall well-being.
Approaches to Learning
At Dee’s House, we encourage scholars to approach learning with curiosity, creativity, and persistence. Our program provides opportunities for children to explore new ideas, ask questions, and engage in problem-solving. By fostering a love for discovery and helping scholars learn to stay focused and flexible, we prepare them to embrace challenges with confidence and enthusiasm.
At Dee’s House, we believe that every scholar deserves the opportunity to grow academically, socially, physically, and emotionally in a safe and nurturing environment. By focusing on the whole child, we prepare our scholars not only for kindergarten but also for a lifelong love of learning and success.
