Primary Prep: Overview
Ribét Academy's Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten are full day programs, with extended day care available. Our program offers a sound foundation for each child's future by providing a safe, enjoyable, educationally stimulating, multi-culturally diverse environment. Ribét's credentialed and licensed staff recognize and address the needs of each individual as part of the whole.
A time to learn: age and stage-appropriate instruction, activities, and expectations foster the intellectual, emotional, physical and social growth of the child, while developing positive attitudes about learning, self-esteem, and caring for others and the environment.
Our program promotes family support through active emphasis on communication. Administration and faculty are dedicated to excellence and are open to questions/suggestions from students and parents. Communication promotes our philosophy of commitment to excellence.
