The preschool program is an age appropriate early childhood educational curriculum provided in a safe and nurturing environment. 

Curriculum content and teaching strategies respect the individuality of each learner. We promote a hands-on program that uses learning centers as a means for active learning. Discovery through play is the primary vehicle for teaching young children.
