​Preschool highlights​

  • Inclusive, creative curriculum to engage each individual child

  • Serving ages 2-5 (pre-Kindergarten)

  • Monthly family events and seasonal celebrations

Our Explorers curriculum focuses on the meaningful experiences of children and learning through all domains (cognitive, social-emotional, communication, physical, and adaptive) using developmentally appropriate practice, whole-child and child-focused philosophy, and positive guidance techniques. Our curriculum is intentionally diverse and inclusive so that all children can see themselves as well as learn about others in all that we do. Our days are structured to include whole-group activities, small group centers, and one-on-one instruction revolving around that week’s theme along with tasks and activities designed to support children in meeting developmental milestones. Additionally, we facilitate windows of time several times a day for child-led, active play because playing is how kids learn best!
