The center offers classes for children who will be three or four years old by September 1st. The programs run September through May and are scheduled three days per week for fours and two days per week for threes. Children are provided an environment where they may play, explore, and experiment. The curriculum includes creative movement, art, music, science, math, both large and small motor activities, outdoor play, and snack. Literacy activities are woven throughout the curriculum. Vocabulary building, rhyme, stories, listening, writing and books are all part of the pre-school day.

Pre-School Full Day 3's is a program for three year olds that includes a pre-school block in the morning and provides child care and enrichment in the afternoon. Our goal is to provide an environment where children will develop social, emotional, physical and intellectual skills through a balance of play, hands-on exploration and adult guidance.

Pre-School Full Day 4's is a program designed for children who will be four years old by September 1st. A three hour pre-school block is offered each morning along with enrichment activities and child care each afternoon. Children may attend two to five days a week. Our goal is to provide your child with enrichment and socialization experiences in an atmosphere of acceptance. We give each child opportunities for success that will help build the positive self-image so essential to healthy development. Our daily activities will encourage social interaction, individual creativity, listening skills, language development, large and small motor development and a sense of personal identity.
