Our Programs
A classroom for every age, a plan for every child.
From first steps to kindergarten-ready, every Skycrest classroom blends play, purpose, and faith.
The details behind every program.
Explore each of our five programs to see what a typical day looks like, what your child will experience, and how every stage builds on the one before it. K1, K2, and K3 welcome children throughout the year, followed by our K4 Summer Program and school-year VPK.
K1 — Ones
The first steps away from home are big ones. Designed for toddlers who are fully walking, K1 provides a gentle introduction to preschool in a warm, nurturing environment created especially for your child's earliest school experiences.
- A predictable daily rhythm that builds trust and security
- Sensory play, music, and movement every day
- First Bible stories, songs, and simple prayers
7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., with extended care to 6:00 p.m.
K2 — Twos
Twos are full of curiosity, and K2 gives that curiosity room to grow. Through hands-on exploration, imaginative play, and new routines, children gain confidence while discovering that learning is something to look forward to. During the school year, they'll also begin attending weekly chapel, where Bible stories and worship become a meaningful part of their week.
- Hands-on centers for early letters, numbers, and colors
- Creative play through art, music, and make-believe
- Supportive potty training in a nurturing environment
7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., with extended care to 6:00 p.m.
K3 — Threes
K3 is where independence starts to bloom. Threes build pre-literacy and early math skills through purposeful play, preparing them for the next level of learning.
- Pre-literacy and early math woven into purposeful play
- Fine motor projects that build focus and confidence
- Designed for fully potty trained children
7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., with extended care to 6:00 p.m.
K4 — Summer Program
K4 is our summer bridge for children finishing K3 and preparing for VPK in the fall. Through continued learning, play, and familiar daily routines, your child stays engaged all summer long — building the confidence for a smooth start to their VPK year.
- Designed especially for children entering VPK
- Continued learning, play, and daily routines throughout the summer
- A smooth transition into the VPK school year
7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., with extended care to 6:00 p.m.
VPK — Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten
Florida's free Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten program, taught by our own teachers in the same loving Christian environment your child already knows. Every day combines kindergarten readiness with faith, character, and the personal attention that makes Skycrest feel like home.
- Free, state-funded program taught on our campus
- Curriculum focused entirely on kindergarten readiness
- Optional wraparound care extends coverage to a full day
8:20 – 11:20 a.m., with optional wraparound care 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Purposeful rhythm, plenty of grace.
Every classroom flexes for age and season, but the heartbeat of a Skycrest day looks something like this.
