Preschool Program

This program serves children 18 months to 5 years of age. Potty training is available in the younger classes for those children showing signs of readiness. Our preschool programs emphasize kindergarten readiness through developmentally appropriate curriculum allowing children to develop at their own pace. The classes are grouped by social and developmental levels. Each child is placed in the group that will best meet his or her needs. The preschool program is structured to ease a child from a home environment to a school environment.
