PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Young Preschool

(Ages 2-3)

Our Young Preschool Program offers a warm, structured, and engaging environment designed for children ages 2–3 as they begin to explore independence. This stage is full of language growth, curiosity, and rapidly developing social skills. Our Montessori-inspired classrooms support early self-help skills, exploration, and hands-on learning that helps children build confidence.

Teachers introduce foundational routines—such as circle time, simple classroom responsibilities, choosing work independently, and developing friendships—while honoring each child’s pace of learning.
