READINESS
Our 5 Year Old Readiness Class is a hybrid of kindergarten and preschool. We take the best of what makes Clemmons Moravian Church Preschool great, and add in Kindergarten standards in English Language Arts and Math.
This class is 5 days a week from 9am to 1pm, and open for children who either could have qualified for Kindergarten or turn 5 on or before October 31st.
Want to talk more about this as an option for your child? Call or email to schedule a time to get personal one-on-one advice, discussion, visit the classroom, and even more research to help you make your decision easier. Virtual sessions are available as well.

The readiness program at Clemmons Moravian has helped my daughter to grow and thrive,both academically and socially. My daughter’s skills in the areas of phonics and letters, numbers and the fundamentals of math, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive development, independence and social and emotional maturity have all significantly improved throughout the course of the school year. It is a joy to see her succeed and to watch her develop pride in her successes. My daughter will enter Kindergarten next year as a confident and well-prepared little girl!
Readiness is the “old” kindergarten, meaning it has the same standards if not more than when we entered kindergarten decades ago. Science experiences are a favorite among this class, hitting standards that would make any kindergarten teacher smile. The Readiness was a wonderful experience and we were blessed to have a child go through that class.
