Prekindergarten/Preschool Program

Parents can trust the program to address all aspects of child development.

Our prekindergarten/preschool children are encouraged to interact with peers, adults and materials within the framework of a planned environment. To encourage development and learning in our preschoolers, we believe that teachers should use a variety of overlapping teaching strategies. Our program aims to address the cognitive, social, physical and emotional aspects of development.
