What's In A Day?
The Daily Schedule
Lessons from Preschool
Your child's doing more than stacking blocks during his day at preschool. He's also learning in ways you can't see:
Daily greeting. The predictability of preschool, with its clearly named daily segments, helps your child remember what happens there and learn to anticipate what comes next.
Circle time. Here your child will have to focus on individual members of the larger group. He'll develop good listening skills, and his memory and speaking skills will get sharper, too.
Group singing. Kids tend to remember information that's set to music more easily than spoken instruction. As he sings, he's processing words, whether they're about cleaning up or the wheels on the bus.

What's makes us unique from other preschool options?
STAR Time (Student/Teacher Assessment & Review)
Once a day, every preschool child receives one-on-one time with a teacher, working on his or her specific goals. Not only does the child get special attention that increases the opportunity to learn skills and concepts; but this time together builds a special bond that benefits both child and teacher.
