PRESCHOOL(3 - 5 Year Olds)

“I love how excited the children get for each activity. I love hearing them talk about their days and watching them problem solve.” - Ms. Colleen 
 
Our preschool program was developed with having a firm understanding of how young children learn and acquire skills. We have a committed approach to taking time to listen to children's ideas in order to plan for authentic learning experiences for all children. Teachers use their observations, conversations with children, and documentation to explore in depth-projects with the children. These projects are inspired by the children and can last anywhere from weeks to months! Often small group projects emerge from classroom projects because the children will be presented with new ideas or questions.  Teachers will lead small groups of preschoolers to investigate other areas of interests throughout the year as well. Our low teacher to child ratio is essential at providing this type of  preschool model that truly inspires young children to question, wonder, and learn about the world around them! It is our goal that children  leave the program as true problem solvers, inquisitive learners, and confident in their abilities to learn anything new that comes their way!
