Pre-School

About our Preschool Program

We treat each child as individuals by allowing them to work and play at their own level. We teach a love of learning by allowing children to fully experience their own stage of development without pressure. Both our indoor and outdoor environments are carefully planned to encourage independence and choices. A wide variety of activities are offered in the areas of creative art, math, science, cooking, tactile play, music and movement, large motor, practical life, dramatic play, language arts, fine motor, and manipulatives. We provide a nurturing developmental environment in a high-quality early care and education program for all children.

Infant/Toddler program: The infant and toddler programs provide a warm, nurturing program working individually with each child on the milestones they are ready to embrace. Teachers encourage each child’s behavioral or physical development through one-on-one interactions, encouraging use of toys, introducing new activities as they are ready and constant language use throughout the day. Our program integrates cognitive development, motor coordination, social interaction, and self-help skills including toilet training. Most importantly, the babies and toddlers are loved and taught by qualified staff in a positive environment giving the children the self-confidence to explore and learn. 

Hours:

We offer flexible hours to meet the needs of parent’s schedules. We are open from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM. We have part-time and full-time programs for both preschool and infant/toddler programs. We also offer part-week programs for parent’s working on a part-time basis.
