At Hola HP, we strive for your student to be ready for Kindergarten! Our PreK in the Plaza teachers, Natalie Phillips and Meghan Scott, assess your student’s academic skill level, form leveled groups based on their results, and create meaningful learning customized to your student’s needs. In addition, Jennifer Knagg and Marny Blake provide daily private and semi-private pull-out opportunities for enrichment and supplementation.
