“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning.” - Mr. Rodgers 
3 Year Old Class

Our 3-Year-Old Class is open to children who turn three by January 2026. This program focuses on creating a nurturing and playful introduction to school, helping children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.
 

Through imaginative play, storytelling, music, movement, and art, students begin to build trust, emotional security, and a sense of belonging in the classroom. These early experiences are key in developing a positive relationship with school.

 

Children are gently introduced to school routines, self-regulation skills, and peer interactions. They also begin exploring early academic concepts like the alphabet, numbers, and shapes, while building fine and gross motor skills through fun, age-appropriate activities.

4 Year Old  Class​

Our Pre-K 4 program is designed for children who turn four by October 1, 2025, and focuses on preparing them for a successful transition to Kindergarten. ​This program emphasizes the development of routines, positive social behaviors, and meaningful peer relationships. Children engage in a balance of free play, guided activities, storytelling, music, art, and direct instruction to build self-confidence, independence, and strong interpersonal skills.

 

​Students are introduced to foundational academic concepts through hands-on learning. They explore letter identification and sounds, number sense, basic math concepts, and early literacy skills. Activities also promote growth in both fine and gross motor development.

Our approach weaves together academic, social, and emotional learning to ensure that each child is supported as a whole learner, ready for the next step in their educational journey.
