  • Each group stays together the entire school year.

  • The children are in groups of four (with one teacher) or groups of eight (with two teachers)

  • When children turn 3 years old, they may join our summer camps. 

We love young children. They make us smile and keep our hearts full. To maintain consistency and a peaceful atmosphere, we place them in very small groups with the same teacher and friends for the entire school year. ​

During class, we enjoy songs, stories, letters, sounds, writing, art, math, and science activities. We also have 15-20 minutes each day with our school Spanish teacher, a native Spanish-speaker who adores kids. The children also use our big gym and library.

 

Our teachers are experts at teaching social skills such as talking in a group, life skills such as putting on your shoes, and academic skills such as recognizing your sounds and letters.

​

Often, the children in preschool prep and their families join the Eagle Creek community for events such as Trunk or Treat and Santa Breakfast.
