Welcome to Pre-School

NEW !!! NEW!!! NEW!!! NEW !!! NEW !!!

We now offer a combined 3 and 4 year old preschool program Monday through Thursday!

Mornings: 8:15 am – 10:45 am OR
Afternoons: 12:15 pm – 2:45 pm

Our program provides for the individual and group needs of each child so that the child will develop their talents to their fullest potential. Through directed group sessions and free unstructured play, the child becomes more familiar with school, more self-confident, and more excited about learning.

Goals:
  • Cognitive:The children will increase their knowledge base of facts and develop problem-solving skills; the children will experience many forms of written and verbal communication.
  • Emotional:The children will increase their self-esteem and become more independent.
  • Social:The children will interact with each other one-on-one and in small group settings.
  • Physical:The children will improve their fine motor skills and gross motor skills
