Early 5s Enrollment

Introduction: Early 5s Program

Early learning is a key component to the success of each and every child. The earlier we can provide solid educational opportunities to our younger learners the better. To support this goal, we have Early 5's programs at Webb and United Oaks Elementary Schools. Students attending Hoover Elementary will attend either the program at Webb or United Oaks.

The Early 5s Kindergarten program positions your child by giving them opportunities to learn in a hands-on, interactive way that supports their development while still maintaining the rigor and high standards of the Kindergarten curriculum.

This program is sensitive to each child’s developmental needs and will allow our young learners the time they need to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The Early 5s classroom is a student-centered learning environment that provides many opportunities to build and practice social interactions and become a community of self-directed, collaborative learners.
