Early Preschool Classroom

In this classroom, children learn to work with others, follow directions, self-regulate, follow routines, and develop self-help skills. Engaging signs show picture schedules to help with understanding routines; "I Can" posters encourage responsibility, while other posters highlight resolution and behavior expectations. The classroom also features six learning areas.

Early Preschool Program FAQs

Our Early Preschool program is for children between the ages of 2.5 and 3 years.

Enrollment is offered year-round based on each family’s needs and classroom availability.

Morning Meeting begins the day as children and teachers discuss classroom work and plan for the day. Children then spend the bulk of the morning exploring learning centers, where intentionally planned learning experiences target all areas of development. Small group work builds social skills and allows teachers to individualize learning. A morning outdoor time promotes physical activity and fosters a love of the outdoors. A midday healthy lunch is served followed by rest time for children to relax and recharge. The afternoon begins with a healthy snack, and then children engage in small group play and learning in the indoor and outdoor learning environments.

To help us keep your child happy, safe, healthy, clean, and comfortable, please bring at least one complete change of clothes. Accidents and spills happen at any age. Remember sweaters and/or jackets to accommodate indoor/outdoor temperature changes. Write your child’s first and last name (in permanent ink) on each article of clothing and all personal items.
