Preschool
We are an inclusive play based preschool program that is accredited through that National Association of Family Child Care. We teach the concepts of math, science, engineering, art, social sciences and early literacy through our play-based, child-led curriculum. We use the interests and ideas of the children to plan lessons and studies. This provides opportunities to learn new skills and concepts in ways that keep them engaged and intrigued. The materials are open-ended and invite discovery. Children make their own investigations and draw their own conclusions whenever possible. Acceptance, independence and integrity are a highly important part of each and every day in our classroom. We strive to provide a fun learning environment that fosters a love of learning in each child.
