Preschool & Kindergarten Prep
Preschool age children are so eager to learn anything we will teach them. Their minds are learning new skills on a daily basis. Our classrooms help foster an environment of learning in a fun and educational way.
Our preschool classrooms offer reading centers, play centers encouraging imaginative play, creative art centers, and a circle time center for daily reiterations of letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and days of the week.
