Preschool (3+)
Relationships and learning are at the heart of all our work to help children ages three or older develop critical thinking skills, build confidence, grow socio-emotionally and to prepare for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten entrance. Children experience a variety of fun learning activities in science, art, dramatic play, music, literacy and large and small muscle development.
98% of parents in the preschool program trust the teachers to do what’s best for their child.
