Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, detailed answers to the most common questions families ask when exploring our preschool program—covering curriculum, kindergarten readiness, rest time, inclusivity, and more.

Our preschool curriculum is intentionally designed to spark curiosity and build school readiness. We integrate STEM learning—science, technology, early math, and engineering—with literacy, creative expression, and social-emotional development. This well-rounded approach helps children grow both intellectually and emotionally, giving them the tools to explore, solve problems, and express themselves with confidence.

es, we offer a dedicated rest time each afternoon following lunch. For children who no longer nap, we provide quiet, independent activities so they can relax and recharge without disrupting others.

We foster an inclusive, respectful learning environment that honors all children and families. Our curriculum promotes kindness, empathy, and belonging—regardless of religion, gender identity, family structure, or cultural background. We work closely with parents to ensure classroom experiences reflect your family’s values while nurturing each child’s sense of identity and self-worth.

We prepare preschoolers for a successful transition to Kindergarten by building strong foundations in literacy, math, social-emotional skills, and independent thinking. Our program emphasizes structured routines, collaborative learning, and critical thinking through hands-on, project-based activities. We also guide children in developing the confidence and communication skills needed to thrive in elementary school settings.

Please pack a labeled backpack with a full change of clothes, a water bottle, and a cot sheet for nap time (returned weekly). We supply all classroom materials, art supplies, and freshly prepared meals and snacks—so you can focus on your child, not a checklist.

Our teachers use ongoing, age-appropriate assessments to track each child’s developmental progress across key learning domains. We share regular updates through Brightwheel, along with detailed insights during twice-yearly parent-teacher conferences, so you’ll always know how your child is growing and learning.
