Equipped For Success: Each Pre-K Classroom Has Everything Your Child Needs To Learn & Thrive

Literacy & Writing Center

Dramatic Play Area

A rotating themed space (kitchen, store, doctor’s office, etc.) for role-playing, imagination, and building social-emotional skills.

Reading Nook

A cozy, comfortable corner with pillows and soft seating where children can enjoy books independently or with a teacher.

Sensory Table

With sand, water, rice, or themed sensory materials to support exploration, science learning, and calming play.

Calm Corner

A safe, quiet space where children can go to self-regulate and breathe.

Music & Movement Area

Instruments, scarves, and props for music, dance, and gross motor activities.

Social-Emotional Skills Flourish In A Nurturing Environment

In a warm, loving space, where every child feels safe, valued, and heard, teachers help children recognize and express their feelings in healthy ways, and develop empathy and respect for others. As they practice turn-taking, sharing, and conflict resolution, your child builds independence and self-confidence, and learns the importance of kindness and community.

Daily Gross Motor Play For Growth, Health, & Confidence

Outdoor adventures include running, climbing, biking, ball games, and free play to strengthen balance, coordination, and core strength. When the weather isn’t cooperating, we bring the action indoors with dance, music and movement, balance beams, and cooperative group games.

Breakfast, Lunch, & Snacks Keep Them Energized For Learning

Pre-K kids need fuel for their growing brains and bodies. As proud participants in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), we serve a healthy, energizing breakfast to start the day, a well-balanced, kid-friendly lunch, and a light, nutritious snack before pickup — all included in tuition, at no additional cost to you.

Stay In The Loop Every Step Of The Way

Your child’s teachers use Smart Care to send you pictures and updates on their activities and progress each day. We also send emails and text messages, and post to our parent news board at the main entrance, so you always know what’s new and what’s happening.
