Pre-K Program

Play. CREATE. Nurture.

We recognize that it can be a big adjustment when your child first starts school. That’s why we offer a few preschool options for our youngest DA Lion Cubs at both our Central and West campuses. Our standard pre-Kindergarten (PreK) program starts at age 3 and parents can choose either a 3-day or 5-day, full or half day,* program based on their family’s preference.

DA Schools’ PreK program prepares students for kindergarten, both academically and socially, and our creative teachers invest their time and talents to develop engaging lessons that bring content to life.

  • American PreK curriculum with English instruction.

  • Students receive weekly courses in art, music and PE where they develop new skills.  

  • Access to the DA Schools library, one of the largest English language collections in West Africa with over 20,000 listings. 

  • Dakar’s only English language Speech-Language Pathologist.

  • 12:1 student to teacher ratio. Classes are kept small to promote individualized learning.
