Private Pre-K Program
Kindergarten Readiness — and So Much More
At Clarian Place, our Private Pre-K Program prepares children not just for kindergarten, but for long-term academic success. We use an advanced, research-based curriculum from Kaplan that aligns with Georgia’s Early Learning Standards — and goes beyond the basics offered in most public Pre-K programs.
Our classroom combines hands-on discovery with intentional instruction in early reading, writing, math, science, and social development — all in a loving, structured environment.
