A flexible program for all children
Our Preschool program is designed to prepare your child for Kindergarten and beyond through the development of a solid foundation of literacy, math, and social skills. Children learn letter-sound relationships; letter, number and sight word recognition; basic mathematical skills and functions; and much more. Our program also nurtures important social and emotional skills such as listening, understanding feelings, resolving conflict, and caring for others and the world.
This well-rounded program also encourages skill development in the arts, creative expression, and physical development.
