Celebrating 10 years of Preschool Our preschool program is specifically designed for children the year before they go to Kindergarten. It is a true Pre-Kindergarten experience. Our STEM-focused curriculum is taught through play, learning activities, and collaboration with their peers. Why is our focus on STEM? Research indicates that when curriculum is taught with connections to real-life experiences, it strengthens knowledge in all typical learning domains, including literacy, mathematics, social-emotional and cognitive skills. Our high-quality curriculum is taught by talented educators who utilize the unique location of our school in a museum, botanical garden, and natural environment to create experiences your child just can’t get anywhere else. Our program is a full day which allows for care from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Flexible drop off included with all enrollments from 8:30-9am Our school day is from 9am – 3pm.
