About the Provider
We believe, as psychologist Jean Piaget stated, that play is the work of childhood. Through play children explore, discover, create, express themselves, master skills, solve problems, and make friends. Our program honors play while offering thoughtfully planned, flexible, hands-on activities–in literacy, art, math, cooking, science, music, movement, and other areas.
The Children’s Preschool strives to nurture and challenge three to five year old children so they thrive in all areas of development—physical, social, emotional and cognitive.
