🌱 Program Overview
Our Preschool program prepares children ages 3-5 for the exciting transition to kindergarten. We combine play-based learning with intentional instruction to build the academic, social, and emotional skills children need for school success.
Preschoolers are naturally curious and eager to learn. Our curriculum harnesses this enthusiasm through engaging themes, hands-on activities, and meaningful experiences that make learning fun and memorable.
