The 4-Year-Old Program is a continuation of playing and learning with peers through the use of age-appropriate topics and materials, with an emphasis on kindergarten readiness skills. Highlights include learning numbers and letters using creative, play-based methods, participating in rug time and following multi-step directions. A music and movement instructor, an academic readiness specialist and a STEM teacher are included in the program. Spanish is woven into each day. Children must be 4 years-old by September 1st. Students enrolled in the 4-Year-Old Program are guaranteed a spot in Trinity’s kindergarten enrichment program the following year.

Children enrolled in the 4-Year-Old program may enroll in a Lunch Bunch or More for 4’s to extend their day.
