Balance for the Whole Child
The PK4 curriculum meets the needs of each student within a wide range of abilities; balancing academic and social/emotional and curriculums to meet the needs of the whole child.
The curriculum incorporates both structured and unstructured learning experiences. Learning occurs through carefully selected activities in whole group, small groups, and individual instruction. PK4 is hands-on, multi-sensory, active, and developmentally appropriate.

“Discovering the world around us”
The Tatnall School believes that outdoor play is vital for the healthy growth and development of young minds and bodies. Children will make frequent use of Tatnall’s three nature habitats (certified by the National Wildlife Foundation), go on hikes through its wooded trails, and explore the outdoors through all four seasons.
We welcome all adults and young alumni to join us for the 2023 Golf Classic. Don't miss this fun day.
