Benefits of The Preschool Experience
Each child has their own unique path to gathering and processing information about their world. As they enter the realm of structured learning opportunities by enrolling in preschool, it is important that a child’s first place of learning be a place of comfort, exploration and is full of points of connection. Experiencing a rich, developmentally appropriate play-based curriculum supports the young child in discovering their sense of self as a learner. The child works to build strong relationships with self and others. Children naturally construct their own learning and experiences. Our teachers facilitate, guide, observe, support, and inspire children as they learn about their world.
