St. Clare Catholic School in North Palm Beach has been approved by the state for a Pre-K 4 class for the 2013-14 school year.

The curriculum for the Pre-K 4 students involves: social-emotional, cognitive, language, communication and physical development, and integrates religion, language and literacy skills through rich content in social studies, science, children’s books, songs and poems. In addition, students will be able to explore on the computers and iPads with age-appropriate activities that support learning.
