Little Wildcat Pre-Kindergarten Academy
Pre-kindergarten classes are provided at T.J.Harris Lower through our Little Wildcat Academy. Students qualifying for the pre-kindergarten classes must be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1.
Instruction is provided by certified teachers and highly qualified teacher assistants. Full-day classes begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. Parents must provide transportation to/from sites since state law prohibits the school district from transporting children under 5 years of age. The classes follow the state pre-kindergarten curriculum, the Mississippi Early Learning Guidelines for Three and Four Year Old Children.
Classrooms use a visually stimulating center-based design. Children rotate among centers that are themed according to subjects. Teachers use computer-based programs that introduce children to reading, mathematics, and science concepts. Students receive self-paced instruction on phonics, comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary concepts.
