Our preschool schedule  is consistent and orderly, yet flexible enough to allow for the day-to-day differences that occur in quality early childhood classrooms.  Our schedule has few transitions to allow children large blocks of time for exploration and discovery.  We want your child to feel secure and independent and to move from one activity to another as easily and confidently as possible.  By planning a daily schedule with these goals in mind, we provide a variety of learning experiences for a well-rounded preschool education.
