Preschool

Our preschool program gives children the opportunity for creative play, engaging them in activities through which their power of imagination is strengthened. Our preschool is a warm, protective environment, rhythmically repetitive and secure, in which a child can slowly make the transition from home to school.

The activities of our preschool and kindergarten prepare and strengthen our students for their elementary school years. Songs and nursery rhymes cultivate intimacy with language and the world of words. Listening to stories, watching marionette shows, and participating in dramatic play strengthen the power of memory and imagination. Counting games and rhythmic activities build a solid foundation for arithmetic and number skills. Painting and crafts help the children develop small motor skills, coordination, and the ability to concentrate. Vigorous play develops their large motor skills.

In the natural, loving, and creative environment of the preschool, children are given both the freedom and security to prepare for the next phase of school life.
