Our Purpose

Our primary purpose is to provide a happy group experience for children. We are concerned with their total development and provide stimulating and challenging activities to help them grow emotionally, socially, mentally, spiritually, and physically.

Our Programs

• Classes are available for children ages 2 1/2 through 5
• 2 Day Program (age 2 1/2)
• 3 Day Program (ages 3 & 4)
• 4 Day Program (ages 3, 4 & 5)
• Classes begin in September and run through May. We conclude the year with a graduation program in which all classes participate.

Our Curriculum

We offer a developmentally appropriate program which provides opportunities for experiences for children to interact with people and things in their world.

We stress socialization, kindergarten readiness, SOL preparation, patriotism, cooperation, and fun!

Preschool children learn by doing, touching, tasting, hearing, smelling, and seeing things that are interesting to them; not by hearing a teacher tell them about these things.
