What to Expect at the CCSU PRE-K Olympics

This event is held each April and November. Pre-K students with the assistance of their parents will participate in an exercise and literacy circuit. There will be 26 stations with each station displaying a letter of the alphabet and a picture of a fruit or vegetable. Upon completion of each exercise, the child will receive a sticker to place next to the letter and fruit or vegetable in their “passbook.” This connects with the learning curriculum at HEAD START/school readiness and programs at HRA.

Additional Activities:

  • Puppet Show
  • Exercise activities for parents encouraging movement and fitness
  • A mini Human Service Fair occurs in the lobby during the Pre-K Olympics organized specifically around health, wellness and services for children and families.
  • A creative activity station is located in the lobby during the event, led & organized by the CCSU Graphic Design Department.

FUN Had by the ENTIRE Family!
