Preschool
Our Preschool Program is designed for potty trained children, who turn 3 on or before September 1st of the school year. This program focuses on classroom readiness skills and exposure to early academic skills. For many students, this is a first school experience, and we are committed to making it a positive one! The curriculum maintains a healthy balance of learning and play to help children develop academically, socially and spiritually.
