The VPK children enrolled in the Pirate Preschool VPK program experience the unique opportunity to learn from a variety of student-teachers throughout their day. Working under the supervision of the early childhood teacher, Ms. Pelchat, and the paraprofessional, Ms. Looney, the student teachers plan and implement age-appropriate math, language arts, science, social studies, arts, fine & gross motor lessons daily.
