You may choose which days work best for your family, all that we ask is that you be consistent with the schedule you choose. Currently, our preschool tuition is $1,000.00 + $200.00 book/activity fee.

    The preschool curriculum uses the Connect 4 Learning Curriculum. This curriculum helps children build skills in science, math, literacy, and social-emotional skills. Each day we have activities such as read-alouds, lessons to share new concepts, time to play in centers, small group teaching, and outdoor play. There are six teaching units: school and friends, environment, how structures are built, museums, gardening, and a review unit. Each lesson builds off the skills learned in the prior lesson. We also enhance our program with daily lessons from the Heggerty Phonological Awareness Curriculum. These lessons focus on word parts/sounds to build foundational literacy skills.
