What are Private PreK Programs?
Private PreK Programs are early childhood education programs, specifically for children in the year before kindergarten, that are privately funded and operated. They differ from public PreK programs in that they are not part of the public school system and are typically tuition-based. These programs often offer more flexibility in curriculum and teaching methods, potentially including specialized approaches like Montessori or religious-based learning.
