Preschool Program
For 3 years to 5 years

image: boy with tinker toysThe Preschool Mini-Centers provide a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment in which youngsters can thrive and reach their individual potentials.

The natural curiosity of children and eagerness to learn are fostered through a variety of self-discovery activities, hands-on experiences and interaction with other youngsters and adults. They engage in sand and water exploration, language and music, painting and other creative art activities, dramatic play, block play, cooking, small manipulative play, gross motor indoor and outdoor activities, and on- and off-campus excursions.

With the aid of a well trained, caring staff, schooled in Early Childhood Education and other related fields, children are guided to become self-confident, competent persons and cooperative members of their group. They are guided to develop their cognitive and problem solving abilities, social skills and self-help skills; to articulate their observations, needs and feelings; to develop their fine and gross motor abilities; and to implement these skills and abilities in situations outside the Child Care Center—now and in the future.
