Preschool
About our Preschool
Our preschool classes are designed to enrich the lives of your young ones to grow academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. To meet our students where they are developmentally, we offer two separate preschool programs: a 3-year-old program and a 4-year-old program. Whichever program your child enrolls in, staff will implement Creative Curriculum and the Zoo Phonics program to help facilitate and encourage learning. We know that this age is extremely important to a child’s success, and we strongly believe that through our programs, your child will flourish in their K-12 educational career.
Class is Monday – Friday 8:45 am to 11:45 am.

3s Preschool
Our biggest focus in 3s preschool is developing both social and emotional skills. We devote a lot of our time to teaching our students how to name their emotions and work through them. We also help our students work through social interactions and conflict. We want them to learn how to make and keep friends through positive interactions, and as a staff, we try to model that behavior through our interactions with our students and other staff members. 3 year olds soak up knowledge like a sponge- we are thrilled that we have the privilege to be a part of that! We will introduce academics throughout the year: Zoo Phonics, number identification, rote counting, and more. Our students will have time to strengthen their fine and gross motor muscles as well. We’d love to have your child a part of our 3s program!
4s Preschool
Our main priority in 4s preschool is to prepare our students for Pre-kindergarten or Kindergarten. We know that at most schools, Kindergarten students are expected to walk in their doors knowing their letters, numbers, and how to write their names. This is why we need to work diligently with our students for them to be able to do this.
We also spend our time helping to refine and fine-tune their social, communication, and problem-solving skills. After all, these students are very young, but we know with a broader vocabulary and giving them tools in their tool kit, these 4-year-olds will blow you away with what they will know and what they can do.
