The preschool experience is your child's introduction to a school setting. We focus on pre-academic skills such as following directions, sitting quietly, listening and participating in activities.

Your child will also be introduced to the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, and other concepts throughout the year.

Individuality and personal attention is important to each child's learning experience. Building Block Preschool is structured for a balance of teacher and self-directed activities, individual and group exploration, and quiet and active play, using hands-on and sensory activities to enhance and encourage learning experiences. 

Preschool is a great place to learn how to socially interact with new friends. This interaction teaches your child the important concepts of sharing and cooperation. Meeting new friends is sometimes difficult, but at preschool many friendships are formed - not just between the parents.
