Preschool aged children possess a wide range of abilities. Our goal is to provide instruction that meets the needs of all children enrolled and activities that are accessible to all.
Our program is structured around themes, utilizing the seasons, holidays and topics of interest to the preschool aged child. We provide both large and small group experiences with activities that emphasize:

SOCIAL SKILLS
Children are given many opportunities for developing social skills as they experience communicating and cooperating with others, following directions, and developing self-control.
CREATIVE PLAY
We believe that a child's first and most important work is their play and that much learning takes place through that activity. The children experience
ramatic play, dress-up and house-keeping, block play, games and toys to stimulate the mind. Creative play encourages language development
and teaches everyday living skills and problem solving.
MUSIC AND MOVEMENT
Children experience listening, singing and making music with their voices and simple instruments. Creative movement helps children enjoy
and become comfortable with moving their bodies.
ART/CREATIVE EXPRESSION
Introduction of various mediums such as paint, play dough, chalk, glue, crayons, etc. to encourage the child's creativity and thought processes
where focus is on experimenting with and enjoying the creative process.
All of these activities integrate appropriate development of pre-academic skills such as reading, math and language as well as large
and small motor skills.
