Preparing Young Minds for Grade School and Beyond
At LIPP Preschools, our 5-year-old program is designed to give students the strongest possible foundation before they begin elementary school. Through structured learning, immersive language experiences, and personalized attention, our classrooms empower children to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
As a leading preschool for 5-year-olds in Houston, LIPP equips students with the knowledge and confidence they need to thrive at top public and private schools across the city.
What Makes Our Program for 5-Year-Olds Unique
LIPP goes far beyond traditional daycare or preschool programs. Our 5-year-old curriculum is part of a strategic progression that starts at 3 months and culminates in a kindergarten-ready student who is academically capable, emotionally intelligent, and globally minded.
Key elements of our 5-year-old program include:
- Advanced Pre-K Curriculum: We go beyond standard pre-K benchmarks with a curriculum rooted in math, literacy, science, and critical thinking.
- Language Immersion: Students continue full-day immersion in Spanish, French, or Mandarin, improving fluency and strengthening cognitive flexibility.
- Individualized Instruction: Small group ratios and experienced teachers ensure every child receives personal support and consistent growth monitoring.
- Structured Readiness Goals: Each student builds the executive function, social skills, and foundational academics needed for success in kindergarten and first grade.
Kindergarten Readiness, Reimagined
By age five, children are ready to transition from early childhood exploration into more structured, goal-oriented learning. At LIPP, we guide that transition thoughtfully—introducing formal lessons while nurturing creativity, independence, and confidence.
Our program places special emphasis on:
Phonics and Early Reading Skills
Mathematics Through Manipulatives and Real-World Application
Scientific Curiosity and Discovery Learning
Fine Motor Development Through Writing and Art
Social-Emotional Growth, Leadership, and Self-Regulation
We also help families prepare for private school admissions.
