About the preschool rooms
Three-year-olds are curious about everything, and our preschool rooms are built around that. Children move between learning centers: blocks, art, reading, science, pretend play and a writing table. Teachers plan each week around a topic the children pick, like bugs, bridges or the weather, and weave early reading and math into the play. Your child also learns to take turns, follow a short routine and solve small problems with friends.
Openings: 3 spots in January
-
Learning centers
Six areas to explore each day, so children can choose, focus and finish something they started.
-
Topics the children choose
If the room is buzzing about worms after a rainy walk, next week is about worms. Interest makes learning stick.
-
Friendship skills
Taking turns, asking to join a game, and saying sorry in a way that means it. Practised every day.

Questions about preschool
Ask us anything on a tour, or call Marco Ruiz at (608) 555-0143.
Does my child need to be potty trained?
No. Many children are still learning at 3. We help, and we keep it low pressure.
Is preschool play or school?
Both. Children learn through play, and teachers plan that play so it builds early reading, math and social skills.
Can my child do just mornings?
Our preschool runs full days, but you can choose 2, 3 or 5 days a week.
