King’s Early Childhood Program

“Being an alumna, King was the perfect choice

for us to begin our son’s journey. It made us feel

so comfortable knowing the amount of individual

attention that is given to each child. We knew

he would change and grow as the year went by

but not to the extent that he did! We know that

he will receive the best education possible,

and that the friendships he makes will last his

lifetime. King is a community that we are so

happy and proud to be a part of.”

– King aLumna

“An Early Childhood experience at King is an

investment, as well as one of the greatest gifts

you will bestow upon your child.”

– King Teacher

“My children both started in the PreK program;

I chose King for its intimate environment and

strong academic program - my children

flourished!”
