Welcome to our Preschool/Pre-K Program!

Our Preschool and Pre-K Program is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for a successful transition to kindergarten—academically, socially, and emotionally. In a nurturing and engaging environment, we support every child’s journey toward independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Using the Creative Curriculum, our experienced teachers plan hands-on, play-based learning activities that encourage critical thinking, creativity, and exploration. Each day offers a balance of structured lessons and child-led discovery, helping students grow at their own pace while building school readiness skills.

Our Preschool program is for children aged 3-4 (must be 3 by August 1 of the current year and be in pull-ups) and runs from September-May. Children attend Tuesdays and Thursday from 9-12pm. We serve lunch. 

Our Pre-K program is for children aged 4-5 (must be 4 by August 1 of the current year and fully potty trained) and runs from September-May. Children attend Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 8-12pm. We serve breakfast and lunch.
