PRESCHOOL

Our preschool program is for children ages 3 -5 years old. Preschoolers have a daily routine that includes circle time and small and large group activities, as well as both structured and independent choice activities aimed to allow them to develop a variety of skills, such as sorting, making patterns, learning letter sounds, writing their name, learning shapes and colors, rote counting, learning the alphabet, art projects, developing problem solving skills, vocabulary development, sequencing, following directions, and cause and effect concepts.  Our preschool classrooms are equipped with a variety of learning centers such as art, easel painting, math, science, manipulatives, blocks, sensory table, writing, library, and dramatic play areas.

Teachers plan a variety of intentional learning experiences for children based on a unique theme each week or biweekly.   Teachers foster socioemotional learning throughout every day as children learn to make friends, share and cooperate in a group, recognize and manage their emotions, develop empathy, gain independent skills, and gain a sense of self.   Children in preschool play outside each morning and afternoon on the playground, weather permitting.  They develop their gross motor muscles through group activities and physical play in the gymnasium located on the lower floor of the center.
Preschoolers enjoy outdoor play each morning and afternoon.
Creative and engaging activities are planned to develop and strengthen children's fine-motor muscles.
Children develop early math skills such as learning numbers, rote counting, and sorting.
Opportunities for physical exercise, health, and wellness are integrated in our preschool programs.
Music is one of our enrichment classes included in our preschool program. Music is also infused throughout each day.
Hands-on, sensory activities are developmentally appropriate and preferred by preschool children.
Learning and play are inseparable from each other.
Fresh air and exercise are essential for children.
Our playgrounds have a variety of climbing activity, sandboxes, toys, and bicycles.
