Pre-school Room  (room capacity: 24 - age ratio: 1-8 - age 2.5 - 3.8)


We have 3 Pre-school rooms which are cheerful, happy places. Through age appropriate, interactive and individual activities children build confidence and self esteem. They are provided opportunities to develop appropriate social skills and encouraged positive self-expression in preparation for success in kindergarten.

During the play/learning times, the teachers will circulate the room observing children and joining in their play. The teachers will periodically sit with a small group of children to complete a teacher-directed activity.

  • Music and Movement
