We're a small high top performing preschool that is located in the park. Our preschool specializes in the Performing Arts where children learn music, dance and theater. Your preschooler will truly love our environment and curriculum. Our philosophy is to develop the whole child in all aspects of their young lives. Children between the ages of 2 and 6 develop physical coordination, formulate and combine ideas, are able to learn more complex games, and begin the journey of learning about themselves and each other. Being playful while learning is the best way to help children to remember and later apply concepts they have learned. Play and performing arts are stitched throughout our daily activities. Foreign language is introduced and expanded upon throughout our preschool curriculum. Our teachers provide individual attention to support every child’s unique needs. Our preschool curriculum allows our children to thrive and introduces language, math, science, and social skills in a way that encourages learning at every child’s own pace. Our children strengthen their cognitive and social skills with fun memory games and team activities which combine creative expression with a tactile experience in a group setting. Math and science skills are developed with hands-on experiences and supported by elements of the performing arts. Language experiences are introduced with performing arts integration to support accelerated literacy and language development. Let's learn together!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Stanford, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Stanford, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Stanford, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Stanford, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Stanford, CA.
