~ the perfect balance between fun & academics ~



Together All Year
-
We group the children according to age and ability.
-
Since they stay together all school year, they become close friends, and so do their families.
Academics
-
Using hands-on materials, we practice math concepts such as counting, sequencing, and base ten.
-
Daily, we practice recognizing and writing the numbers and the letters.
-
We practice speaking & listening skills so the children will be confident communicators.
-
During science lessons, we focus on inquiring, observing, investigating, graphing, and explaining.
Ready for Kindergarten
-
We practice handwriting through a formal writing program and through fun activities that develop small motor control.
-
We teach the children self-help skills such as putting on their snow clothes and opening their Tupperware.
-
Every step of the way, we promote independence and self-confidence.



Spanish
-
Every morning, all preschool and young fives classes have 20 minutes of Spanish class.
-
The children learn songs and basic expressions. They also learn about the culture of Spanish-speaking people.
-
Our Spanish teachers are native Spanish-speakers and adore kids.
Peaceful Atmosphere
-
This may be the first time your child is without you or the first time she must talk in a group setting, and we want her to feel safe.
-
We plan our routines carefully and maintain a calm pace.
-
We love this time in a child’s life, and we want your child to love it, too.
Family Involvement
-
We love when parents bring their skills and knowledge to the classroom.
-
You may show us how to bake, teach us a dance, help us celebrate your family's holiday, or anything else you think will be fun. Just let us know!
-
Preschool & Young 5's families often join the Eagle Creek community for events such as Trunk or Treat and Santa Breakfast.
