Children 2 1/2-4 years old
Our preschool program encourages children to explore, create, and take initiative through engaging play and hands-on learning experiences. In a safe and supportive environment, children gain confidence by making choices, solving problems, and expressing their ideas. Teachers guide early literacy, math, and social experiences while nurturing independence, creativity, and a love for learning. Christian values are integrated through stories, songs, and activities that teach respect, compassion, honesty, and kindness, fostering both spiritual and personal growth.

Her teaching style is centered around the unique abilities of each child, understanding that every learner is different and should be celebrated for those differences.
