Creative Kids Preschool

The Creative Kids Preschool program provides an age-appropriate curriculum to develop a child’s love of learning. Our curriculum provides a safe, nurturing environment that allows the children to grow socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. Children participate in various activities every day, including art, movement, math, science, storytime, and group learning, which are designed so that students can find their successes. Our curriculum incorporates Jolly Phonics, STEM, and Handwriting Without Tears. We strive to prepare children for kindergarten, and our program gives children the tools and experiences they need to ensure a positive transition. Throughout our two-year program, some ongoing skills are taught, such as recognizing and printing first and last names with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, reciting numbers 1-20, count by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s, letter recognition, number recognition, sounds, sight words calendar, and weather. Our teachers help the children learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share, and establish self-direction.
