Licensed Preschools

Pretend Play
Children experiment with sharing and problem solving, acting out imaginary experiences, and trying to make sense of their world

Art
Scribbling, painting, playing with clay, and more help children learn how their mind and hands work together. These art experiences increase control of hand muscles which are a must for pre-writing. Learning about shapes, forms, and textures are all pre-math and science skills.

Books
Little ones are encouraged and inspired to develop for a lifelong love of reading through discovering and exploring the magic of books.

Music and Movement:
Providing children with wonderful physical outlets, soothing music, or songs can release tension, while singing can help little ones to develop language and self-expression.

Table Toys
The wonderful world of math is introduced through Lego, puzzles, matching cards, etc.

Block Play
Self-esteem increases as children successfully make decisions about block sizes and shapes, and they learn to share and cooperate with others.

It would be ideal if your child was toilet-trained, but it is not mandatory. Teachers can assist with bathroom duties, but do not change diapers. If your child is still in a diaper or pull-up, you will be asked to stay nearby in case of an accident. We take regular bathroom breaks and ask that all children come to preschool with a second set of clothing. For further information on our toilet process, please refer to the Parents' Handbook.

A non-refundable $50 administration fee is due at the time of registration. The cost for a full year varies depending on the total number of classes, please talk to us for details. Monthly payment options are available.
