Welcome to Great Beginnings Pre-K Program

Dear Pre-K Families,

On behalf of our entire early childhood team, welcome to the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District! We are so excited to partner with you as your child begins this incredible journey into early learning.

Pre-Kindergarten is a wonderful year filled with discoveries, building first friendships, and fostering a lifelong love for learning. Our program is designed to support the whole child—nurturing their academic, social, emotional, and physical growth in a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment.

What to Expect

  • Hands-On Learning: Our research-based curriculum encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity through play-based and guided exploration.

  • Social-Emotional Development: We focus on building key life skills like emotional regulation, empathy, independence, and positive peer relationships so children feel confident and connected.

  • A Supportive Community: Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to creating classroom environments where every child feels valued, capable, and excited to learn.

  • Family Partnership: You are your child’s first and most important teacher! We deeply value open communication and look forward to collaborating with you throughout the year.

Next Steps for Enrolled Families

To help you prepare for a smooth start to the school year, please keep these resources and reminders in mind:

  1. Complete Annual Online Enrollment: All families must complete annual enrollment in PowerSchool prior to the start of school. Be sure to have your proof of address, proof of age, and immunization records ready.

  2. Watch for Teacher Contact: Your child’s teacher will reach out after August 19th to schedule a personalized, individual appointment during our Meet the Teacher event on August 24th. This is a special time for your family to meet the teacher one-on-one and explore the classroom!

  3. Getting to Know Your Child: If you haven't already, please fill out our Getting to Know Your Child Form so we can begin learning about your student's unique strengths and interests.

We’re Here to Support You!
