Preschool
Our Preschoolers are fun, friendly and ready to absorb the world in a safe, scheduled and exciting environment. Our Preschool is structured for three and four year olds helping them take the big kid step from Toddler to Pre-K.
In addition to class time involving learning exercises, free play and art, our Preschool children experience outdoor play, Spanish, Music, Physical Development, Library, Science and Computers several times each week.
