Parent-Teacher Partnerships Build Your Support System

Your preschooler deserves the best start possible, and a parent-teacher partnership builds trust, supports your child’s development, enhances learning, and makes your child a priority when it comes to education, safety, and needs.

Personalized Lesson Plans Spell Academic Success

Personalized Lesson Plans Spell Academic Success

Your child strengthens their reading, writing, and math skills through the age-appropriate curriculum Creative Curriculum®. Teachers plan daily learning to your child’s interests in a way that prepares them to soar academically with hands-on, messy play.

Open-Ended Activities Unlock New Worlds Of Imagination

Open-ended play helps your preschooler to stretch their cognitive skills and learn to make decisions on their own. Children have an opportunity to be a leader without rules or “right or “wrong” answers, and creativity is a primary focus of their time at this age.

Loose Parts Play Creates Smart Builders & Thinkers

Simple items like wooden blocks, cups, sticks, stones, and more allow children to experiment, invent, and discover how parts make up a whole.  They combine, redesign, line up, and take apart loose parts in endless ways to build both creative and critical thinking skills.

Second Step® Curriculum Encourages Emotional Intelligence

Your child learns the concepts that help them make better choices through the Second Step® curriculum. Teachers model how to show empathy, give respect, communicate effectively, and use the social skills they need for school.

Daily Outside Play Builds Muscles and Friendships

Daily outside time is a part of your child’s daily routine. They have more than enough time and space to develop essential motor skills with loose-parts play, strengthen their muscles, connect with friends, and learn from the environment around them.
