Teachers provide opportunities for exploration that foster preschoolers' curiosity and encourage learning.
- Our skilled and trained teachers offer enriching learning experiences and guidance to help your preschooler grow into a confident, well-rounded individual.
- In addition to helping your preschooler develop social skills, they will also learn how to compromise, respect others, and solve problems. We create an environment where your child can build self-confidence, explore, interact with peers, and gain a sense of independence. Your preschooler will discover their ability to handle tasks, from pouring their own milk and setting snack tables to making decisions on how to spend time in learning centers.
- Our teachers guide children in discovering answers through exploration, experimentation, and meaningful conversations, supporting them in reaching their full potential.
Our preschool curriculum is based on the latest early brain research, featuring developmentally appropriate and engaging activities that support growth across all early learning domains for preschoolers. These learning domains include:
Our advanced classrooms are thoughtfully designed and stocked with a diverse range of age-appropriate materials that foster learning at every stage of preschool development. We offer nine dedicated learning centers in our preschool classrooms.
- In our Preschool classrooms, teachers create a nurturing and stimulating environment through songs, cuddles, storytelling, conversations, sign language, yoga, and hands-on play.
- This special playtime is an essential part of each day, promoting learning and development for every baby.
Every day, you’ll receive updates via a mobile app, where our teachers can share important information, send messages, and brighten your day with photos and videos. You can also use the app to message your child’s teacher directly.
