Private Pre-K

Private Pre-K in Orlando: A Full Day of Kindergarten Preparation

Ages 4–5. Full day, Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–6:00 PM.

The year before kindergarten matters. Our Private Pre-K gives your child a full day of learning, play, meals, and routine, not a few hours.

Children follow structured lessons and consistent daily routines, with learning activities aligned with Florida Early Learning Standards.

Why a Full Day Makes a Difference

A short program ends before the day really develops. Here, your child has time to settle into a routine, finish what they start, eat a hot meal, rest, play outside, and build real friendships, all with the same teachers in the same familiar room.

Children follow a consistent schedule from morning arrival through the end of the day, with guided learning, daily routines, meals, group activities, and play.

Horizons offers childcare programs in Orlando for every stage of early development.

What a Full Day Looks Like

The day at Horizons follows a consistent structure that children can understand and rely on.

Mornings may begin with circle time, attendance, calendar activities, and teacher-guided learning. Lessons in literacy and math are aligned with Florida Early Learning Standards.

Activities may include whole-group instruction, small-group work, independent practice, guided play, meals, and structured transitions throughout the day.

These consistent transitions help children develop the routine awareness and classroom habits they will need in kindergarten.

Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are cooked fresh on-site every day, and all meals are halal. Brightwheel keeps parents informed with updates throughout the day.

Built for Kindergarten Readiness

Kindergarten readiness involves more than learning letters and numbers.

The Private Pre-K program at Horizons supports children in building early academic foundations, independence, confidence, and classroom habits before kindergarten begins.

Many families value the full-day structure because it gives children more time to practice the expectations found in a kindergarten classroom rather than attending only a few instructional hours each day.
