Preschool Overview

Discoverers (3 yrs. & potty trained to 5 yrs.)




Our preschool curriculum includes language arts and comprehension, phonics and listening skills, computers, vocabulary, literature, math readiness, art, manners and values and morals. Preschool provides numerous opportunities to succeed and build positive self-esteem. In Preschool, your child will be able to know and say how picture or letters are alike, different, missing parts, or reserved. They will develop strength in the finger and hand muscles and develop control for finger movements and hand-eye coordination.

In addition, preschoolers will learn to work from left to right and copy shapes and patterns. They will have opportunities to discover new concepts, make decisions, understand commitment and responsibility, and experience pride, loyalty, and humor in a nurturing environment. After preschool, our children are well prepared for Kindergarten. Our staff inspires a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
