Encouraging Social Skills
Preschoolers learn important social skills through group activities and cooperative play. They practice sharing, taking turns, and working together, which helps them build positive relationships and navigate social interactions effectively.
Inspiring Creativity with Questions
We use open-ended questions to foster creativity and self-confidence. For example, rather than instructing specific colors, we might ask, “Which colors will you choose for your artwork?” This technique encourages children to think creatively and make their own choices.
Empowering Independent Play
Our daily schedule includes plenty of time for children to engage in creative play. This free play supports critical thinking, self-reliance, and confidence as they explore and invent in their own imaginative ways.
Group Time
Group time is a daily highlight, where oue preschoolers gather to interact and learn about community. They enjoy listening to stories, singing songs, and participating in activities that foster a sense of togetherness.
Meals and Snacks
During meals and snacks, older toddlers enjoy balanced, nutritious foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. We focus on providing healthy options, steering clear of juice and fried foods.
Outdoor Playtime
Outdoor playtime is an essential part of their day, with our students spending 20–30 minutes outside at least twice daily. They explore, run, and use their imagination in the fresh air, which helps them stay active and engaged.

We prepare preschoolers for kindergarten by reading a variety of books, identifying rhyming words, and practicing writing. Songs and games help them recognize similar sounds and enhance their early literacy skills.
