4K Program
Our 4K program is dedicated to providing high quality, developmentally appropriate learning experiences to all four-year-old children. In partnership with early childhood professionals, our 4K program provides a safe and nurturing environment in which children can first explore their interests and develop social and emotional skills, critical thinking, creative and academic skills to help them become life-long learners. We work with our 4K partners to provide appropriate class size and ratios to ensure students receive optimal time with their teachers.

Explore
We provide enrichment opportunities that help students explore their interests — and learn more about our community — while building critical personal, social, leadership, emotional and academic skills. Classrooms embark on field trips to the school forest, view live performances at the Grand Theater, travel to a local pumpkin patch and interact with community helpers who visit our classroom. Orientation sessions provide parents and children with the opportunity to visit their classroom and meet their teacher. The D.C. Everest 4K program is offered at locations throughout the District. Busing is offered for the morning classes.
Grow
Family involvement is a critical step toward each child’s success in school, thus we provide ample opportunities for families to participate in the 4K program. Throughout the school year, we host several family events, which touch on many areas of learning, where children and their families can participate in activities together. We also encourage family members to serve as classroom helpers and volunteers.
