Early Preschool

Let’s Explore!! The children in this room are between the ages of 3 and 4. These students become more involved learners in their environment. The core of our preschool program is from 8:30-12:30 in which the students participate in circle time activities, story, art, music, gym, and fine motor development. More of a curriculum is introduced based on the center’s theme’s calendar and developmentally appropriate subjects such as letter recognition, phonic sounds, table manners and teamwork. This group focuses on team work, individual accomplishments, and academic goals. Some developmental milestones for this room include:
