Our Preschool Classroom
With a research-driven curriculum, engaging and thoughtful lessons, and a child-centered approach, your children will get the start in education they need to thrive throughout their future.
Our preschool program will pave the road for your children’s academic successes, one BLOCK at a time!
According to the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, the first few years of life actually set the stage for lifelong development. In fact, by age 5, your children will have already developed a staggering 85 percent of their intellect, personality, and skills.
Because young children’s brains still have plasticity, they easily adapt to the things they are exposed to in their surroundings. Our high-quality preschool program is a critical component of shaping that 85 percent and will support children in being successful throughout the remainder of their educational careers.
We believe in a child-centered approach that encourages cooperative and individual discovery and learning. We teach readiness skills at age-appropriate levels through hands-on activities and open-ended projects. Our well-rounded program considers the developmental needs of children in the areas of physical, intellectual, and social-emotional growth.
Our preschool program starts your children’s journeys into a cooperative learning environment where they can discover their interests and learn in a more structured setting. Our caring and compassionate teachers help children turn everyday experiences into fun, educational opportunities.
We work closely with our local school districts to implement elementary school visits and prepare children academically so that they can master necessary kindergarten readiness skills. We follow a developed framework that supports children to successfully transition from preschool to kindergarten with ease.
