Each and every child is a unique individual with his/her own talents and abilities. Children are born learners, with a strong sense of curiosity, and their own brand of imagination and creativity. Derry Preschool offers a variety of enrichment programs to further enhance your child’s emotional and cognitive growth while preparing them for the lifelong adventure of learning.

KickStart ~ Daily

This unique program was developed by Derry Preschool teachers who are certified in Elementary Education and have experience in Special Education.  KickStart offers individually age-based instruction on pre-reading/prewriting skills including phonemic awareness, letter knowledge and other early literacy components.

This program which is offered daily from 12:45 to 3:15 pm is a center oriented creative curriculum.  KickStart is a great option for parents of children who qualify for the 3yo, 4yo or 5yo classes, who need a little extra time in the afternoons but can still have their child in a program designed for fun and learning!

For more detailed information on the Kickstart Program, please e-mail us at derrypreschool@gmail.com.

*For the upcoming 2021-2022 school year KickStart will be offered on Monday-Thursday from 12:45-3:15pm
