Preschool
Our preschool offers care as early as six weeks up to school-age. Our center provides a loving and home-like environment. We have discovered that at preschool, children build a strong foundation in social, pre-academic, and general life skills that will give them a leg up in school and beyond. At Childworks your child will receive all the necessary skills to help your child succeed when they are off to school. We participate in the Funnydaffer curriculum. We also nurture creativity and curiosity. Our teacher's provide opportunities to engage in group activities, and work together with each other. In an environment with a range of activities of choice, children can explore their curiosity while still getting used to structured activities. More than anything else, preschool helps children develop the skills they need to grow throughout their lives. The emotional skills and understanding of the world that children develop while they are young will help them become constructive members of society as they grow. Here at Childworks our number one priority is your child and what is in their best interest and keeping parents up to date on a daily basis.
