Combining nurturing with classroom structure, routine, and learning, this class is essential to building your young child's academic foundations
Caterpillar Room (2-2.5 years old)

With science experiments, cooking lessons, art projects, trips to the park and more- this class will be sure to build memories and skills your child will have for a lifetime!
Wizards Room (5-6 years old)
Our Wizard Room is full of laughter, learning, and magic! This class specially designed for children who miss the PA State Kindergarten age cut off (where children must be 5 years of age before August 31 of the current year.) This program will introduce your child to the concepts and routines they will be exposed to in the first six months of Kindergarten, such as scaled handwriting, self knowledge (such as home address, parent names, phone numbers), pre-math skills, introductory reading, and self-responsibility. With trips into the community, arts & crafts, time lapse projects and more, this small focus class is the ideal environment for our older preschool children!
