Why is VOC Pre-K at Morgan a great place to play and learn?
Here at VOC Pre-K at Morgan, we are an early childhood program geared towards four-year-old children who will be entering kindergarten. The teachers create a safe, structured, and nurturing learning environment for all children.
Our learning is objective based as to educate the whole child. The children learn through play. We promote social emotional skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and responsible decision making.
Social-emotional skills help children to persist on challenging tasks, to effectively seek help when they need it and to be thoughtful in their actions. Our goal is to create kindergarten readiness and to help with a smooth transition from Pre-K to kindergarten.

Why is VOC Pre-K at Sullivan a great place to play and learn?
Here at VOC Pre-K at Sullivan we offer a safe nurturing environment for young children with highly educated staff. We believe that young children learn best through guided play and a rich curriculum and plenty of opportunities to keep the body moving. Our daily schedules reflect these beliefs. We also offer:
- High teacher to student ratio: There are 3-4 teachers in our Pre-K classroom at a time. This allows for more one-on-one time and purposeful adaptation of our lessons to meet the needs of every child.
- Meals, snacks, and extra-curricular activities.
- Family Engagement: We offer monthly planned family engagement, because we believe that our families are our most important asset and with great home to school relationships children are more successful.
