El Dorado Christian Preschool serves children from age 2 through entering kindergarten. Our program is designed to meet children where they are developmentally while helping them grow in confidence, independence, and readiness for the next stage of learning.
Younger preschoolers are supported as they build important early skills such as following routines, sharing, listening, communicating needs, participating in group activities, and developing social confidence. Older preschoolers and pre-kindergarten students are given opportunities to strengthen early literacy, number sense, fine motor skills, classroom readiness, and independence.

Kindergarten Readiness Through Everyday Learning
Kindergarten readiness is an important part of our preschool program. At El Dorado Christian Preschool, children develop the academic, social, emotional, and practical skills they need to feel confident as they move toward kindergarten.
Our kindergarten readiness activities include early literacy, letter recognition, phonemic awareness, counting, number recognition, patterns, shapes, colors, fine motor development, cutting, writing practice, listening skills, following directions, and participating in group instruction.
Just as important, children learn how to take turns, solve problems, manage emotions, ask for help, complete tasks, and build friendships. These foundational skills help children become more prepared for kindergarten and more confident in the classroom.
