Meeting Your Child “Where They Are” in Their Learning
The center has three preschool classrooms, and thoughtfully place your child with peers at the same developmental pace. This way, we can comfortably “meet your child where they are at” in their learning, ensuring they flourish and thrive.
Creative Arts & Crafts Galore
Ample time is reserved for self-expression throughout the week. With plenty of projects, crafts, coloring and painting our classroom walls & your refrigerator door are covered with the latest artwork from your enthusiastic little artist!
Directed Dramatic Play That Develops Listening Skills
Daily dramatic play and dress-up often tie into a theme, like scuba divers in a submarine. While your child happily plays with others, taking turns leading the play, following each other’s or the teacher’s lead, they develop leadership and listening skills.
Children Practice Tidying For Much-Needed Life Skills
Simple age-appropriate chores are given so that your little one can participate and help out. Your child will soon happily be making their snacks, helping to clean, be putting things away where they belong, and tidying up too.
Hands-on Math & Science Experiments Make Lessons Exploratory & Interactive
Creative lessons engage children while preparing them for school and are a fun way to build foundational principles in math and science.
Music & Movement Daily Keeps Children Smiling
Children respond wonderfully well to music, which enhances their learning. By dancing, playing instruments, and singing, your child, easily incorporates rhythm, vocalization, and physical development
into their day-to-day.
More Advanced Reading Writing Skills Under Teacher Guidance
First by mastering their name, then other letters and numbers, your child is practicing letter recognition and their handwriting skills every day. Step-by-step, your child progresses in reading and writing and is getting Kindergarten ready.
Championing Your Child’s Accomplishments With Progress Reports
Teachers develop personalized lesson plans according to your child’s portfolio. We review their progress with you at conferences held twice a year, and we are happy to discuss your child’s academic progress at any time.
