What Makes Pre-K at Celebree School of Tulsa, OK Different

Pre-K at Celebree School of Tulsa, OK, is intentionally distinct from preschool. While preschool builds foundations, Pre-K focuses on readiness, helping children strengthen the skills they’ll rely on in kindergarten and beyond.

Our teachers begin by truly getting to know each child. Through ongoing observation and assessment, they understand where a child is developmentally and create learning experiences that meet them there. From problem-solving and early literacy to independence and decision-making, learning is thoughtfully scaffolded to support steady growth.

Children in our Pre-K classrooms build:

Confidence in expressing ideas and asking questions
Early literacy and math skills through meaningful, hands-on experiences
Independence, responsibility, and focus within a consistent routine
Social skills that support collaboration, empathy, and self-regulation

It may look like play, because it is, but it’s purposeful and packed with learning.

Supporting the Whole Child, Every Day

At Celebree School of Tulsa, OK, we take a whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness. Academic skills matter, but so do emotional awareness, resilience, and the ability to work through challenges.

Conscious Discipline is woven into daily routines, classroom design, and teacher-child interactions. Children learn how to identify their feelings, calm their bodies, and solve problems in healthy ways. Each Pre-K classroom includes a Safe Place—a supportive space children can choose when they need a moment to regroup. It’s never punitive and always child-led.

By nurturing both academic and social-emotional growth, we help children feel ready for the expectations of kindergarten.

How Does Pre-K at Celebree School of Tulsa, OK Help Children Learn?

Our Pre-K program uses intentional, play-based learning to keep children engaged while building essential skills. Lessons are guided by a research-based curriculum and aligned with state learning standards, but they’re flexible enough to follow children’s interests and curiosity.

Teachers act as partners in learning, asking thoughtful questions, encouraging exploration, and adjusting experiences as children grow. When kids are interested, learning sticks, and enthusiasm comes naturally.

Families are an important part of this process. Through ongoing communication and regular check-ins, you’ll always know how your child is progressing and how we’re supporting their next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-K at Celebree School of Tulsa, OK

How is your Pre-K different from public Pre-K?

Our Pre-K runs full-day and year-round, 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Many children move up from our own preschool rooms, so there’s no new transition before kindergarten. Every child works toward kindergarten-readiness goals that we track and share with you. That’s readiness taken to a new level. Ask your other Pre-K options how they handle early drop-off, late pickup, and summer. Ours covers all three in one program.

How much is Pre-K tuition at Celebree School of Tulsa?

We value the time you take to investigate your options, so here are our rates as of Fall 2026. We are the integrated, one-stop, high-quality school: a year-round calendar with before- and after-care built in, without the hassle of extra transitions or extra fees for breaks and days when school is out.

Pre-K (4-year-olds)	$228.50	$260	$325

Does my child need to be potty trained for Pre-K?

Yes. Potty training is expected by the time children move into our 3-year-old preschool room. Accidents still happen at this age, and our teachers handle them calmly, helping children change clothes when needed.

What skills does my child need to be ready for kindergarten?

Children need early academic skills, like recognizing letters, matching letters to sounds, and counting. They also need the social skills that make a classroom work: following a routine, getting along with classmates, asking for help, and trying new things. Both can be practiced every day in a high-quality Pre-K classroom.

How does Celebree School of Tulsa prepare children for kindergarten?

Our Pre-K builds readiness through predictable routines, hands-on learning, and guided practice getting along with others. Lessons are planned with The Creative Curriculum, and teachers use Conscious Discipline to help children manage feelings, communicate needs, and work through disagreements.

When does kindergarten preparation start?

It starts well before Pre-K. Children begin letter recognition in our twos classrooms and phonics in preschool, so by Pre-K they’re building on skills they’ve practiced for years and that is just a small slice of what it’s all about because there is so much more than just the academics we often think about.

What curriculum does your Pre-K classroom use?

We use the Creative Curriculum, a research-based early childhood curriculum that guides hands-on, play-based learning in literacy, math, science, and social-emotional development. Activities follow themes that build children’s interest. This fall, for example, children made an apple volcano to practice predicting and observing.

How can I support kindergarten readiness at home?

Ask open-ended questions about your child’s day, such as “What surprised you today?” or “What did you try?” and show interest in the answers. Everyday conversations build the language, thinking, and confidence children need for kindergarten. No quizzing required.
