PRESCHOOL

Do not train children to learn by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each. ~ PLATO

Our preschool programs are divided into 3-4 year old and 4-5 year old programs. Our bright classrooms and fun playgrounds cater to age-appropriate learning which are based on monthly themes. Teachers encourage independence and exploration through free play as well as guided activities.  Basic math and sight words review occur daily, as well as practice with writing and reading. 

Upon completion of the older program, children will have the readiness and confidence to participate in kindergarten. They will be socially adjusted as well as active and eager learners.  Because our teachers empower their students to work and share together with peers and adults, our graduates will be self-confident and delight in learning once they embark on their journey through kindergarten.
