Preschool Playground

The Preschool curriculum is planned appropriately for the age span of the children and is implemented with attention to each child's individual needs, interests, and level of development. The Preschool program provides for the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development of each child through an integrated approach. Learning and play are integrated. Child initiated, as well as teacher directed and supported play and learning, provides the foundation for the early childhood program.
