Our preschool learning environment, designed for children between 3 and 4 years of age, is, like our pre-K program, based on The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, developed by Teaching Strategies Inc., and used in high-quality early education settings throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia.  At the core of The Creative Curriculum for Preschool are well-planned learning centers that allow for child choice and self-directed play, small groups, and supportive teaching that prepares children for academic excellence.  The development of language, mathematical reasoning, and scientific thought is emphasized throughout all the centers.   

Changes to the learning environment, activities, and projects reflect emerging interests and individual goals. Learning centers offer guided experiences that encompass all the skills and understandings necessary for optimum development and success in school.

Learning centers are supplemented by any number of independent learning stations designed for use by one or two children.  Throughout the day, children make self-directed and guided choices, participate in small groups and projects, join in circle-times with the whole group, and reflect upon their learning experiences.  Children are guided to critical learning experiences that form the building blocks of healthy development.  Using The Creative Curriculum for Preschool  and knowledge of the children and families as a framework, teachers use their talent and expertise to design, adapt, and invent learning centers that best serve the particular needs of the children in each class.
