Our Preschool Program

Engaging children intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially

Our preschool classrooms focus on children’s newly emerging skills and advanced use of language, math, and scientific thought. Multi-disciplinary learning centers encourage individual skills and emerging interests in academics and creative expression.

Our curriculum stimulates each child’s innate curiosity and exploratory nature to prepare children for lifelong learning.

Learning at Home

Objects in a Row Classification Game

You Will Need:

A variety of small objects (shells, acorns, corks, bottle caps, etc.), 2 poster boards, and a ruler

Directions:

Create two game boards by drawing 6, 9, 12, or 15 squares on each poster board. With a group of the same kind of object, place one object in each square, in a row, to create a set. Give your child the second game board and identical items and ask him to duplicate what you did on his board. Take turns creating sets and classifying objects.

Tip:

With younger children, start with six squares (two sets of three objects, one in each square). Take turns, or take the lead from your child as he might invent new games using the objects.
