Preschool and Before/After School Programs

Young Preschool

Sharing, cooperating, and problem solving are desired goals for our three and four year olds. We support imagination and creativity through song, dramatic play, science, and hands-on art projects. Self-help skills are encouraged and supported.

Kindergarten Readiness

Our teachers introduce key skills in preparation for kindergarten; we meet regularly with local kindergarten teachers to ensure readiness. The daily program includes art, music, math, science, and dramatic play to encourage expression, creativity, and responsibility, all of which helps to strengthen self-confidence and self-help skills.
