Early Preschool Program

On the path to Preschool, Early Preschool is an excellent stepping stone that is built to meet the needs of 30- to 42-month old children. As they become independent learners, these children practice working with others, following directions, self-regulation, following routines, and developing self-help skills. This program offers:

• Exclusive indicator-based curriculum
• Opportunities to build independence
• Collaborative learning experiences

In this collaborative classroom environment that fosters independence, children learn to work with classmates and follow instructions. Through nurtured independence, children build upon their self-help and self-regulation skills.

• Music & Movement Center: Positive movement is encouraged as this energetic group develops gross motor skills, coordination, and spatial awareness.
• Math & Science Center: In this classroom, children are empowered to investigate and explore using a variety of materials for counting, sorting, classifying, and measuring activities.
• Art Center: Children explore self-expression and their imagination by way of sensory exploration and creative art experiences.
• Pretend Center: It’s make-believe time. Children collaborate to use their imaginations, dress up, and play different roles to expand their creativity.
• Language: This cozy, quiet classroom area gives children an inviting place for reading, playing with puppets, and exploring early writing.
• Block Center: With a variety of materials on hand for construction and creating inventions, children learn how things fit and work together.
