Our preschool is a fun place for you and your toddler to learn and grow. From painting to pretending, taking turns to tower building, each child will have the opportunity to explore many experiences as their minds make new connections about the world around them.
Come learn with us!
Janice enjoys teaching toddlers and pre-threes because "Everything is new and intriguing to these little people." She appreciates the co-op environment because she considers it very supportive of children and their families. Janice sums up her enthusiasm for teaching as follows:
Preschool is a time for your child to explore, engage and encounter. Preschool allows children to be exposed to new friends, new challenges, new ideas. Between the ages of 1 and 3, children experience many changes and it is exciting to be part of their first learning experiences.
