Our preschool program builds a strong foundation for academic success in the elementary years and beyond. Developmentally appropriate activities take place in a warm, nurturing environment. Preschool children attend morning or full-day classes during the week. The interests, needs, strengths, and cultural background of each child are addressed in our fully accredited program. Children feel safe and secure as they learn what is meaningful to them. Preschoolers learn best through exploration and play, and our classrooms provide many materials and equipment in learning centers, which promote intellectual, social, moral, and physical development. Students have guidance in communicating their feelings and needs individually and in group discussions. Our school-wide peacemaking skills start in preschool, where children practice using positive words and actions in solving problems. Preschoolers have many choices for creative, imaginative play - the young child's avenue for learning.

For students in the preschool, many subjects and activity times are incorporated in learning about this topic. Art, circle time, block playing, dramatic play, story time, and centers all revolve around the main area of focus. Children even bring items from home that relate to their unit of study. These activities last for a week or more. Often, related areas of study come into focus as the children pose questions about what they are learning. Real learning about the real world makes for a wonderful learning environment for these preschoolers.

Block building, dramatic play, experiments in cooking, painting, songs and storytelling may seem like child's play, but underlying those activities are subjects such as:

Social Studies

Music

Science

Art

Math

Reading Readiness

Language Development

Social Skills
