Preschool: Sun Bear, Koala, and Panda
Our preschool serves children ages 2 years to pre-kindergarten. We offer three classrooms that provide experiences to encourage social, emotional, intellectual, physical, creative, and spiritual growth. Activities and lessons are age-appropriate and based on individual needs and interests. Each child is given the time and space to explore concepts at their own developmental stage. As play is the central activity of childhood and of our program, concepts such as math, science, and language arts are introduced and taught through fun, hands-on activities.

Preschool & Pre-K STEAM Lab
We offer children numerous ways to explore the world around them and to figure out how and why things work. Our STEAM Lab is a supplemental learning space filled with unique exploration and educational materials focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). Classrooms use this space for small group learning or as a whole class.
STEAM is an educational model that:
Encourages students to think outside the box and solve problems innovatively
Helps students make connections between seemingly unrelated subjects
Fosters creative problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking
Takes STEM to the next level by integrating arts practices, elements, design principles, and standards.
