Pre-school - Prescolare

We offer a Bilingual and an Immersion Pre-school Program. Our preschool programs grow along with your child, teaching essential reading and writing, math, science and social skills in a logical, natural sequence that encourages children to learn step by step.

Monthly themes, weekly topics and daily activities keep the curriculum focused and fun. We complement this learning experience by bringing a Music Teacher, Yoga teacher, art teacher and a Sign Language Teacher on a weekly basis. Our goal is to have a balance between the nurturing care children received as infants and toddlers and the growing structure and independence that will define their school years.
