Early Preschoolers
(3 years - 4 years)
Developing Confidence In Academics, Social & Physical Skills
Social, emotional, and intellectual growth occur quickly at this stage and it’s important to surround your child with positive learning opportunities. Our preschool program is designed to stimulate your child’s curiosity and train him or her to learn effectively and confidently.
Our specialized preschool curriculum uses rhymes, stories and hands-on activities to encourage those first steps toward building the foundational skills for reading, writing, math, and science. We encourage our preschoolers to respect and be kind and considerate of others, to listen and to follow instructions. They learn to work with others, follow directions, self-regulate, follow routines, and develop self-help skills to become independent learners.
