Pre-Kindergarten

Ready for Kindergarten and Beyond

Pre-K Program for Ages 4–5 in San Jose

Kindergarten is a big step — and the children who thrive are those who arrive confident, curious, and ready to learn. Bright Sunrise Preschool’s Pre-Kindergarten program in San Jose’s Evergreen neighborhood is a comprehensive, kindergarten-readiness experience that prepares 4- and 5-year-olds across every dimension of development.

Our Pre-K curriculum goes well beyond the alphabet and counting. Children engage in structured pre-reading activities, early writing, phonological awareness, and mathematical reasoning — all embedded in meaningful, hands-on STEAM projects that make learning exciting. Teachers who hold California Early Childhood Education credentials guide each child’s academic and social growth with intentional, developmentally appropriate instruction.

Self-regulation, persistence, and social responsibility are woven throughout every day. By the time your child graduates from Bright Sunrise’s Pre-K program, they will not only know what kindergarten requires — they will love learning and have the confidence to thrive in any classroom.
