Doing Pre-K differently! Imhotep Academy’s Pre-Kindergarten curriculum focuses on fostering young learners’ social, emotional, and academic skills through engaging activities. Children explore heritage, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies through hands-on experiences, stories, songs, and creative expression. The curriculum encourages self-expression through arts while promoting curiosity, problem-solving, and collaboration, preparing them for success in kindergarten and beyond.
Encouraging a love for reading is another major goal for pre-kindergarten students. Teachers read and engage students in related activities daily. Our language arts curriculum prepares students to become life long, proficient readers and writers. The multi-level guided reading program develops listening, and choral speaking skills, identify letter and sound relationships, build vocabulary, explore writing concepts, and become innovators and communicators of oral and written language.
The pre-kindergarten Singapore Math curriculum relates mathematics to everyday concepts and activities. The classroom is set up to encourage interest in and exploration of mathematical concepts using a variety of problem-solving strategies. Activities include identifying numbers, assimilate number concepts, acquire basic understanding of basic math processes, classify geometric shapes, recognize calendar and clock as instruments measuring time.
The science curriculum provides a flexible program that covers a range of scientific topics and concepts. Teachers provides a basic instruction of scientific methods, supporting the students’ interests and enthusiasm. The science curriculum is connected with other studies such as math and/or social studies.

I have had two sons at Imhotep who are 14 years apart. I knew with my second child that IA was the place for him. It is a nurturing place that fosters creativity and discipline and prepares our children to be successful in and increasingly challenging world.
"My son attended during the 2020 pandemic and the staff did a good job of trying to provide a high quality education even with all of the uncertainties.
