While some children are experiencing preschool for the first time, others in this class have previously attended GPCP or another preschool. Thus, the 4/5-year old classroom activities and daily schedule is designed to meet children with different learning styles and preschool familiarity. An emphasis on reading and math readiness is an ongoing component of the class day, and curriculum is focused on literature, seasonal themes, scientific exploration, art, cooperative play, and oral communication development.

In accordance with State of Ohio regulations this class has a maximum of 14 students. In addition to being developed and taught by a highly qualified teacher, each class also has a minimum of one parent helper. This class meets for two and a half hours three times a week and is offered as either a morning or afternoon session.
