The preschool hours are from 9:30-12:30 Monday, Wednesday and Friday from September to May.  Each child has the option to attend school for an extended day from 12:30-2:30. 

  • Our preschool program is licensed by the Department of Human Services and is a 3-star program.
  • We have an extensive curriculum covering the spectrum of learning and development skills.  Classrooms are center-based so children have opportunities to participate in math, language, science, writing, music, art, and dramatic play.
  • We use the “Handwriting Without Tears” program to help children learn letter recognition and formation.
  • Spanish lessons, in-house field trips, and guest speakers help enhance your child’s learning experience.
  • Favorite preschool activities include Farm Day, Barnyard Music Day, Thanksgiving Feast, Christmas program, Father’s Day celebration, Mother’s Day celebration, Beach Day, and End of year family picnic.
