The embodiment of the PK4 school day is:
To prepare the students for reading readiness by capitalizing on the “curiosity and enthusiasm of their youth and to enjoy the songs, stories, games, rhymes, and prayers loved by preschool-age children for generations” (Five-Day Junior Kindergarten Curriculum, The Primary Stage, Memoria Press, Copyright 2019).
