Children must be able to use the restroom independently. Our Little Learners, Toddler, and Parent programs are the only exceptions. In our Little Learners class, parents remain in the class with their child until their child is able to use the restroom independently.
We believe that your involvement in the school experience is one of the best things you can do to help your child's learning achievement and success. Parents/guardians are encouraged to participate at least one day per month. All of our parent volunteers are fingerprinted.
Our preschool program offers part-time/recreational classes, not exceeding nine hours per week, depending on age.
We believe children learn best through meaningful play. Our play-based, child-centered program reflects the integration of physical, cognitive, social, emotional, language and self-help areas for the total development of the child. Meaningful play encourages curiosity, discovery and problem solving which allows individual growth and development of a positive self-image.
Our preschool teachers attend training, along with the School District kindergarten and transitional kindergarten teachers, on the CA Preschool Learning Foundations and Curriculum Framework. We include activities within our play-based program to increase the knowledge and skills that most children can be expected to exhibit in a high-quality program before entering kindergarten.
