Our Preschool Program

Engaging children intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially

Our preschool classrooms focus on children’s newly emerging skills and advanced use of language, math, and scientific thought. Multi-disciplinary learning centers encourage individual skills and emerging interests in academics, creative expression, and outdoor learning.

Our curriculum stimulates each child’s innate curiosity and exploratory nature to prepare children for lifelong learning. Children move to elementary school socially prepared, excited to learn, and well versed in the language, math, and science skills they’ll need to succeed. .

What Parents are Saying

Learning at Home

Picture Blocks

You Will Need:

Empty cardboard boxes – cereal, shoeboxes, oatmeal box, etc. Photographs of familiar people or things

Directions:

Glue pictures to the boxes then cover them with clear contact paper. Encourage your baby to build, stack, knock over, and look at the pictures.

Tip:

Talk about who or what you see in the pictures. “Who is that, is that mommy? There’s Daddy.” Infants will only play with at few blocks at a time so you only need four or five. It is helpful for them to be similar in size and small enough to hold easily. Older children would like more variety and have better motor control to stack different sizes.
