PRESCHOOL
Preschool is a big year. We’ve designed our program to give you complete confidence in every aspect of your child’s experience; from health and safety; to ready-for-school curriculum; to the full support of experienced teachers.
Just as important, our program is based on what research says best prepares children for kindergarten…and all the big steps ahead.
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
Our preschool program includes:
- Independent, teacher-directed, and small-group activities that encourage investigation, exploration, and discovery.
- Learning approaches that adapt to each child and incorporate their strengths and interests.
- Curriculum that supports creative expression, literacy, music, and more.
- Confidence-building opportunities to solve problems and make decisions.
- STEM learning that encourages future-forward skills.
