Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By staying with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten and enjoying developmentally appropriate learning experiences to meet their individual strengths and opportunities, they’ll develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts® together.

Personalized Care and Instruction
Teachers pay close attention to your child’s development, and they personalize learning experiences to meet individual needs. We call these experiences Wonder Time. Wonder Time is based on concrete sensory experiences such as seeing, touching, hearing and smelling, and they are designed to tap into your child’s natural learning processes.
