Small and large group activities
Creative expression through dramatic play, art and music
Encouragement to build independence and self- confidence
An environment that focuses on communication and creating social connections
Create opportunities for investigative problem solving

Preschool Explorers

As preschoolers gain more confidence we add more structured activities and hands on learning projects into their curriculum. We start to develop their skills in math, science, language and early literacy. We focus on:

Hands on learning experiences that stimulate scientific thought processes and problem solving skills
Monthly themed education that encourages self-directed activities and boosts confidence
Group activities that enhance communication and social skills
Creative expression through art, music and dramatic play
Introduction to computer skills

Prekindergarten

During the prekindergarten years children are learning through routines and learning to make vital connections and make their own decisions. The PreK program offers:

Educational lesson plans and activities that align with success in Kindergarten
Hands-on activities that enhance creative learning skills through sensory experiences
A focus on language and numeric literacy
Classroom group activities that build on a sense of family and community
Individual lessons in Early Reading and Writing skills

Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten

Ages 5-6

The transitional Kindergarten level is designed to help children excel in Kindergarten during this transitional period when they are awaiting enrollment into Elementary School. We create small class settings that allow for exploration, creativity, imagination and communication within a structured curriculum that focuses on the core educational subjects. We encompass an educational path that:

Teaches scientific experimentation and investigative learning skills
Small group reading skills where children are encouraged to read aloud and develop their writing skills
Probe thought provoking questions and allow for curious debate that enhances group communication skills
Provide age appropriate lesson plans in life sciences, physical sciences, art and history
Encourage learning about similarities and differences through cultural awareness and diversity
