Preschool

Welcome to the Lily Room

Our Preschool Class is designed for 3-4-year-olds, providing the perfect blend of play and early academics to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. At this stage, we focus on refining social skills, fostering independence, and introducing foundational concepts in a fun, engaging way.

Children in this class participate in activities that promote:

  • Kindergarten Readiness: Early literacy, basic math skills, and problem-solving to build confidence in learning.

  • Social and Emotional Growth: Working on cooperation, sharing, and communication to strengthen peer relationships.

  • Independence: Encouraging responsibility through natural consequences, and performing routine tasks on their own with supervision.

Through structured lessons, hands-on activities, and plenty of opportunities for play, we create a nurturing environment where preschoolers can thrive as they prepare for the next big step in their educational journey.
