Preschool
4 to 5 years
Our preschoolers are given more reign as they further their experiences with independence and learning from their peers through hands-on learning. All Things Are Possible for Kids will equip your preschooler with the skills necessary for success in kindergarten, including confidence, curiosity, communication, literacy and number concepts.

-
Positive interactions and relationships with adults provide a critical foundation for successful learning.

Social-emotional competence is a significant factor in school success.

The physical environment affects the type and quality of learning interactions.
