Where Learning Begins with Wonder
At Lowcountry, our Pre-K program provides a joyful, nurturing space where young learners thrive. Guided by our experienced teaching team, Heather Javoroski and Tonya McLeod, who bring over two decades of combined experience in early childhood education, each child is encouraged to explore, create, and grow at their own pace.Through a thoughtfully designed, hands-on curriculum, students build strong foundations in early literacy, math, and science, while developing social-emotional skills that foster confidence, kindness, and cooperation. Small class sizes allow for personalized attention, ensuring that each child’s natural curiosity is celebrated and supported.
Every day at Lowcountry Prep is filled with discovery — from creative expression in art and music, to outdoor adventures that spark a love of nature, to meaningful community values that shape character.
Our safe, stimulating environment provides the perfect place for children to build academic readiness, lasting friendships, and a lifelong love of learning.
