preschool and pre-k

---

 Our preschool program utilizes an "emergent curriculum" that is based on the children's interests, ideas, and questions of the children. Our learning approach is very hands on and project oriented. A wide variety of experiences including literacy, art, math, science, dramatic play, fine and gross motor development, and nature are incorporated. Our center follows PA Early Learning Standards to ensure kindergarten readiness. An emphasis on diversity and acceptance is promoted with a monthly theme that learns and celebrates various countries, languages, and cultures.

 Following the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our teachers create a preschool environment that acts as a "third teacher".  We draw upon nature to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere that is ripe for learning.  Our educators are culturally inclusive and fill the room with meaningful material to spark children's natural curiosity and wonder.

In addition to face-to-face communication with your child's preschool teacher, parents will also receive detailed real time reports and photos through the state of the art brightwheel app, the leading child care communication tool.  Each child's work is documented with an individual portfolio and a bi-annual conference is offered to discuss your child's progress and needs. 

Parents receive real time photos and video of their child's day that shows what early learning standard each activity is linked to. You have access to the full curriculum and observations right at your fingertips!
