Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten Program

Ages 2 years 9 months to 6 years

A place where kids are accepted for who they are and imagination is encouraged

Our focus at this age is to develop the child’s social skills and emotional awareness, to achieve kindergarten readiness.  With this goal, we have created our preschool curriculum to make children focus with activities that will add wonder and encourage imagination. All activities are age-based and ensures that everyone can participate at their own pace. Children will receive encouragement and praise for their hard work and not just their finished product. We want children to be introduced to as many learning experiences as possible while in attendance. children will also have access to a wide range of age appropriate toys to create.

Integrated Learning Approach

We use an integrated thematic approach for our preschoolers by implementing bi-weekly and monthly themes that are meaningful and relevant to the children every day lives, such as food & nutrition, outer space, transportation, habitats, environment, weather, 5 senses, occupations, our community, and many more. By using a themed approach, our curriculum is able to cover a wide range of main themes and provide enough information in each topic to keep children interested, but not too much to overwhelm them.

Fostering Independence

The teaching staff will follow daily schedules to allow the children to form several routines throughout their day to become more confident within their environment while learning responsibilities. The classroom will accommodate the children performing individual activities, as well as group interactions. Our learning spaces are designed in a way that children can perform routines with attached responsibilities, have access to their own materials, and be able to view their own work and goals as wall displays.

Our preschool & pre-k curriculum will make your little bear kindergarten ready!
