Preschool Home / Academics / Preschool Learning One Year Ahead from the Very Start In our warm and caring environment, our youngest students grow in many ways. They learn in small groups with our loving and experienced teachers who celebrate each child’s success. Our students learn one year ahead of their grade level, giving them a strong start in school. Every day, our staff teaches good manners and positive social skills. Our Preschool has two levels – Beginning and Intermediate. Children may join preschool when they are 2.5 years old (by September 1st) and potty independent. Learning is fun with hands-on activities, as well as small group lessons. Our students explore an advanced curriculum featuring language arts, math, science, social-emotional learning, and social studies. They also build strong gross motor skills by dancing, playing outdoor games, and joining in organized activities. At age 4, our Pre-K students enjoy an interactive classroom that prepares for kindergarten. They learn to read, complete simple math problems, and more! Children continue to grow in the academic areas listed above, and even start learning French! One of our hallmarks is our focus on performing arts. Almost every month, our students prepare a song, poem, or skit to perform on stage for their families. This helps our students feel confident, express themselves, and build strong communication skills that will help them succeed as they grow.
