At Truks-N-Tykes @ Golden Gateway, our hands-on educational method helps children learn through play. We balance structured activities with free play, which helps kids thrive. Our center offers care for a wide range of children — from infants all the way to school-age — through all-day preschool and Pre-K, and Junior-K led by a thoughtful, educated staff. Junior-K is specifically designed to help kids develop skills for success in kindergarten, but it still prioritizes play as the ‘hard work’ of childhood. Students explore letter recognition, phonetics, fine motor activities and math/science each day. Our goal is for each student to enter kindergarten with confidence in both academic and social skills.
