Our Preschool Preview is the perfect first step into the world of school!

Led by our caring ECFE staff, this 14-week experience gently supports children as they transition into preschool. Each week, children enjoy developmentally appropriate large and small group activities designed to introduce important preschool skills like listening, sharing, taking turns, and following routines.

We gather together for snack time, practice classroom expectations, and explore during free play — where friendships begin and social skills blossom. This year, we had a full class where students were able to form lots of friendships.

By the end of the session, our little learners are feeling confident, comfortable, and excited for school next year. We can’t wait to watch them grow!
