Our preschool programs are based on building self-esteem in your child. Each activity is selected and developed with sensitivity to the age of your child as well as with the idea of making your child feel good about himself/herself. We are process-oriented. We believe your child will learn more in a “hands-on” activity-based program.
The following skills will be introduced:
Music! The Preschool Music Specialist spends time with each preschool class weekly! The songs and activities taught are chosen to complement and reinforce weekly preschool themes. Very basic music concepts and vocabulary are also introduced. The most important goal of music time is to have fun!
Preschool classes will get to perform at the Christmas and Graduation/Spring Programs.
The 2-Year-Old Program is for toddlers who would benefit from time spent with children their own age. It is designed with appropriate materials, time frames, and study themes to keep your child interested at a two-year-old level. We know 2-year-olds are active, noisy, shy, egocentric, tender, dreamers, beginners, curious, and developing at different rates.
We feel confident they will benefit from this environment which is rich in activities to stimulate them socially physically, emotionally, and intellectually!
Classes held on Tuesdays and Thursdays OR Wednesdays and Fridays
This program is for children with late birthdays who need 3 years of preschool before entering Kindergarten. It is designed around a monthly theme with activities congruent to 2 1/2 to 3 1/2-year-olds. The main focus is making the transition from a home environment to a school environment very positive and fun. Social, emotional, and motor skills are developed with various activities. The teachers are nurturing and loving. They will make sure the children have many small successes so that the role of preschool, as their first link, in the long chain of instruction, is an exciting and happy experience.

The three-year-old program is a healthy blend of social skills and academic skills. Our main focus, at this age, is on developing social and emotional skills such as getting along with others, getting used to routines and group activities, sharing and developing positive feelings about self and others.
We also begin a more structured academic process. We make sure your child’s first teachers will be loving and caring people who help make an challenge of leaving home for the first time fun and rewarding. Prerequisite: Must be potty trained.

We provide a “hands-on” environment where your child is an active member of the learning process! This is a readiness program for Kindergarten.

This program is offered as an add-on option to enhance content learned in our 4’s preschool program. The focus of this class is to provide students with an additional one on one, or small group, instruction.

In addition, there will be one Science Lab per week and an Art Studio or Kids in the Kitchen. Students receive focused attention, each day, to promote progress within these valuable areas of academics and development.
