PRESCHOOL
A licensed preschool for ages 18 months to 5 years
Three programs, one philosophy. What changes is the pace, the lessons, and how we meet our growing children.

Early literacy and numeracy woven into play
Kindergarten transition support for families
Frequent visits to the kindergarten classroom at McKechnie Elementary School
