Preschool Program
Our Preschool program supports 3 to 5 year olds in exploration and discovery, while preparing them for their next step: Kindergarten!
We are committed to supporting the development of the WHOLE Child! Here’s how:
- Social/Emotional – Opportunity for organic and intentional peer interactions supervised inside and outside of the classroom. The classroom’s layout and design supports emotional development and wellness, allowing children to work well with others and grow in empathy and compassion.
- Educational – A daily schedule provides structure and learning opportunities from circle time, singing and dancing, reading, writing, arts and crafts and other pre-Kindergarten readiness milestones. We have a special focus on ‘Raising Readers‘ so students receive the strong fundamentals needed for early reading and many are reading before they graduate from our preschool!
- Physical – Ample opportunities for gross motor skills and physical fitness from swings and climbers in our outdoor playground, to indoor gymnastics mats and hopscotch, to dance parties and children’s yoga!
- Cognitive/Creative – We approach this in a variety of ways, but one to highlight is our weekly music class! Each week we have musicians with over 20+ years of experience provide music education, introducing a variety of genres, instruments from around the world and rhythms and sounds that stimulate the mind and soul. Research proves that music can provide the foundations for math, reading, memorization and more!
- Oral Hygiene – Each child receives their own toothbrush provided by the Center and with teacher supervision, keeps up with their oral care by brushing after lunch each day! (Dentists love this!)
- Nap Time/Rest Time – It is crucial that children are afforded with adequate rest to allow their brains and bodies to grow healthily. That’s why we have a mandatory nap/rest time between 1:00pm-3:00pm each day.
