Preschool and Full Time Daycare

Children three to five years of age are divided into groups by age and ability. Children in need of additional developmental work are put in an appropriate preschool class. Preschool runs each day from 9 AM - 11:15 AM during the school year for all children present at those times. Parents are welcome to get involved in the education of their child(ren) and to offer ideas.

The concepts covered during preschool hours are: sensorial, reading readiness, mathematics, art, music, motor activity, science and everyday living skills. Our sensorial education strives to make the child aware of his/her senses and how to use them to develop attention, observation, comparison and classification skills. Our language arts program is designed to help children associate each letter with its sound, and to form words by combining sounds. In mathematics the child learns to associate the abstract symbols with the real-life quantity, the basics for success in elementary school mathematics. Everyday living skills include how to tie your shoes, personal hygiene habits, safety rules, etc. We also offer a program called HALO, which is a program aimed in having your child make good choices when it comes to the use of alcohol and other harmful substances.

Field trips are planned on a daily basis during the summer for preschoolers and school aged children. During the school year field trips are planned twice a month. We visit businesses, parks and recreational facilities. We offer swimming lessons during the summer, as well as gymnastics, aerobic and computer classes year round.
