4K concentrates on academic readiness with an intentional play-based approach to learning.
What is 4K?
4-year-old Kindergarten (4K) is a community collaboration between area child care centers, preschools, and the Stevens Point public schools to ensure quality programming for 4-year-olds before entering kindergarten.
What Does My Child Learn in 4K?
4K students have only been on the earth four years, so they are in the prime of formative learning.
In 4K your child will learn number and letter recognition, grow in social and emotional development, learn about space perceptions, and begin learning the concept of time and calendars, along with many other things.
Learning is fun and pressure to learn isn't what happens in 4K. You'll love Canaland's 4K program and all we have to offer!
Be sure to register both online at the Stevens Point Area Public School District website and also at Canaland.
How Do I Enroll?
To enroll with Canaland's 4 year old kindergarten program, you also need to enroll at Canaland because the 4K program is also licensed by the state of Wisconsin's Department of Children and Families.
Enrollment begins in February each year and is first-come first served, based on available space.
Children must be four years old by September 1st to enroll for that academic year.
