Preschool. Busy hands and a head full of questions.

Following the curiosity

A three-year-old spends the morning building something, painting something, counting out crackers at snack, spotting the first letter of their name, or stopping everything to ask why. Teachers follow that curiosity and bring in letters, numbers, new words and problem solving along the way, from a weekly plan that covers language and math, music and movement, creativity, sensory play, dramatic play and early literacy.

Keeping skills and adding new ones

Children at this age improve quickly in learning and coordination. Teachers plan each day around activities that keep those skills sharp and add the next ones, so nobody slides back while they are away from home. There is time outside on the playground every day, and the room is cleaned and sanitized regularly.

Learning to be with others

This is where children learn to take turns, share, and use words when something goes wrong. The room gives each child a sense of security and the assurance that they are loved, which is what makes it safe to try.

Seeing progress

Teachers observe each child and record what they see, so you know how your child is coming along. You sit down with their teacher three times a year, and you never have to wait for a conference to ask.
