Preschool Program (3–5 Years)

Children strengthen vocabulary, conversation, listening comprehension, phonological awareness, early reading, and emergent writing through meaningful conversations, shared reading, storytelling, dramatic play, journaling, and mark-making. Children are challenged to reflect on their learning and represent their thinking in multiple ways and are encouraged to take ownership over their contributions during class activities. Spanish and French enrichment further expands communication and cultural awareness while children learn to represent and share their thinking in multiple ways.

Children develop mathematical understanding through counting, sorting, patterning, measuring, comparing, estimating, building, chess, and hands-on investigations. These experiences strengthen number sense, logical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Children are exposed to a variety of engaging educational materials while applying mathematical reasoning to real-world situations.

Children are encouraged to ask questions, investigate ideas, make predictions, test theories, and reflect on their discoveries. Project work and collaborative investigations strengthen attention, reasoning, flexible thinking, executive functioning, and confidence as independent problem-solvers.

Children develop empathy, self-awareness, resilience, cooperation, and emotional regulation through meaningful relationships and collaborative experiences. They learn to communicate respectfully, resolve conflicts, take turns, appreciate different perspectives, and contribute positively to their classroom community while developing confidence and leadership skills.

Outdoor exploration, indoor movement, yoga, ballet, karate, climbing, balancing, and fine-motor experiences strengthen coordination, body awareness, endurance, and physical confidence.

We believe every child is an artist. Through open-ended art, music, movement, theater, dramatic play, construction, drawing, and building, children express ideas, communicate their thinking, develop imagination, creativity, and confidence while exploring a wide variety of artistic materials, instruments, and techniques.

Children investigate science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics through experimentation, building, observation, early coding concepts, engineering challenges, and collaborative problem-solving.

Children enjoy indoor gardening, outdoor exploration, nature walks, seasonal studies, and sensory experiences, while developing observation skills, early scientific thinking, environmental awareness, and a lasting appreciation for the natural world.

Practical life experiences are integrated into each day. Children strengthen independence by caring for themselves, their classroom, and their community through organizing materials, serving snacks, setting tables, caring for classroom plants, making thoughtful choices and taking increasing responsibility for daily routines. These experiences foster confidence, responsibility, leadership, and respect for others.
