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 using Handwriting Without Tears, 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. .

Cornstarch Goop

You Will Need:

1c. cornstarch, 1c. water, tub or large pan, spatula, spoon, other kitchen gadgets

Directions:

Put cornstarch in pan. Slowly add water to cornstarch. Let your child stir. This makes a very interesting consistency, part liquid and part solid. Scoop and scratch with kitchen gadgets.

Tip:

This can make a mess, so do this in the kitchen. You may want to put an apron or an old shirt on your child. When your child is through, keep cornstarch goop in a container for the next time. It will dry out but can be revitalized by just adding water.
