4K at CWC

A joyful beginning to a lifelong love of learning

Your child’s first school experience should be joyful, nurturing, and full of discovery. At CWC, our 4K program is designed to spark a love of learning while building the foundational skills children need for success in kindergarten and beyond.

Our classrooms are intentionally designed to support the whole child—academically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically—during this important stage of development.
 

 

What Makes 4K at CWC Unique?

  • Play-based, hands-on learning that encourages curiosity and creativity
  • Developmentally appropriate instruction aligned with early learning standards
  • Small class sizes (typically 12 students per teacher) for individualized attention
  • Caring, experienced teachers who understand how young children learn best
  • A strong focus on social-emotional growth, helping children build confidence and independence
  • A Christ-centered environment where children are known, loved, and valued
