Preschool
Preschoolers love to explore with hands-on activities and we encourage it and base our curriculum around that! Preschoolers also require challenges, respond to motivation, and crave encouragement. To both engage and nurture your child, we provide a balance of freedom and instruction.
Each day in our preschoolers explore science experiments, create artwork, have dramatic play, and so much more! In this way they learn following directions and other key skills for learning success. Our classroom is designed as a learning community! We have multiple learning stations throughout the room and here is just an example of what each learning station offers your preschool child.
Our preschoolers follow the below daily schedule.
