Ages Served
Preschool: This classroom is designed for children 2.9 to turning 4 years old. This oversized, beautiful, classroom can hold up to 20 children with 3 teachers.
In this class we focus on social/emotional skills, fine tune our motor and self help skills and are exposed to early cognitive learning skills.
Pre-K: Our two Pre-K classrooms are designed for children who turn 5 after August 31st and will be attending Kindergarten the following year. Each classroom boasts low child to teacher ratios, having two teachers with 12-15 children depending on the room.
These classrooms continue to focus on social/emotional, motor, and self help skills. More emphasis is put on early cognitive skills such as phonics and math.

Summer Program
We traditionally offer four weeks of half day summer programming. The weeks will be announced each year, but we typically do the last 3 weeks in June and a week in August to help acquaint some of our newer students.
Highlights include:
-
Ooey Gooey fun! A variety of life size sensory activities designed for outdoors and getting messy!
-
Water Play! Our sprinkler wading pool, water tables, water balloons, and more offer a fun way to keep cool!
-
Outdoor Art! Art can be bigger and messier when brought outdoors!
-
100% Outdoor Fun! As long as the weather permits, our morning takes place entirely on the playground. Children may choose to use our gross motor equipment or engage in one of the many experiences provided by our staff.
