KickStart 

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 Monday-Thursday 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
