Pre School Program
Our pre school program has a total capacity of (48) forty-eight children. The children are grouped by age in with our two classes of 3 year old with a staff to child ratio of 1:10, or our two classes of 4 year old with a staff to child ratio of 1:14.
The pre school program addresses the whole child. Our emphasis is on whole language activities, journal writing to enhance self-esteem and developmentally appropriate activities which foster personal maturation and following directions.
Individual and group instruction is achieved within the pre school learning centers i.e. art, music, books and puzzles, dramatic play, language and listening, science and nature, and the gross motor skills room. Enrichment activities such as cooking, sensory fun and field trips add to the quality of our pre school program.
