Overview

Inside the Preschool classroom

Our preschool curriculum is play-based but purposeful — every center, story, and project is mapped to California state learning standards for literacy, math, and science.

Children rotate through STEM stations, dramatic play, art, and quiet reading corners, building focus and curiosity at their own pace.

Full-time Spanish instruction continues daily, alongside dance, soccer, and cultural celebration days that bring the wider world into the classroom.
