A Letter From Our Pre-K Director

Dear Families and Friends,

I am truly humbled to have the opportunity to serve as the Network Pre-K Director. It is a role that I hold with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility. I have been in early education for 15 years in many different capacities. One of my most proud opportunities was serving as the Founding Site Director of Movement Freedom Pre-K. As the Network Pre-K Director, I am committed to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. I believe that each child is unique, with their own set of strengths and abilities. My aim is to ensure that our Pre-Kindergarten program embraces and celebrates this diversity, providing a tailored and enriching educational journey for each and every child. I also want to emphasize the importance of parental involvement in our Pre-Kindergarten program. Your participation and partnership play a vital role in your child’s educational journey. I am dedicated to fostering strong connections with our families, listening to your feedback, and working together to create an exceptional experience for our scholars. I am confident that, with our collective efforts, we will create an environment where our Pre-Kindergarten scholars can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Network Pre-K Director, and I look forward to partnering with the community as we prepare a new generation of leaders through our extraordinary Pre-K Program.

With Gratitude,
Erica Polk
Network Pre-K Director, Movement Schools

Personalized Learning

We use small-groups and personalized instruction to help your child grow at their best pace, every day. Our structured literacy and conceptual mathematics approaches are the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

Amazing Teachers

We hand-pick teachers to bring out the best in your child. They fill each classroom with instructional expertise, character, and love. Our teachers shine and are the heart of our school.

Character Education

We are building children with strong minds and strong character. Children who will succeed in life and help others do the same. We teach character every day to help you raise children who are kind, honest and brave.
