Our Program

Setting the stage for future success is what preschool is all about. This is the time when children can experiment. Our preschool program has been created to expose our students to many concepts. Subjects that we teach include: ABC’s, number concepts, science, pre-writing and writing skills, physical and large motor skills, interpersonal skills, art, music and movement and social and emotional skills.

Field Trips and Special Events

Preschool is also a time when little ones start to learn about being independent and interacting with a world much larger than they are. We plan special field trips that give our students new appreciation for the world around them. Some of our trips are: Fire Station, Nature Center, Library, Theater, Japanese Gardens, and to the Mailbox.

We also have many special events that occur throughout the school year. We organize class learning and projects around special themes and festivities such as: Halloween Parade, Friendship Feast, Holiday Program, Special Person's Day and Open House.

Room to Roam

This is a special feature of Discovery Preschool. We have a back patio that spans the length of our classrooms and provides an extra area for our children to play. We open this up during a special time in our day and the children can chose where they want to go. Each room has a different teacher and activities. This helps to develop our students’ sense of self, making their own choices and making new friends.

Lunch Bunch and Enrichment Classes

We offer an additional hour of lunch and supervised playtime for a small fee. Children bring own lunch when they are enrolled. Many of our students ask to stay for this time.

After lunch, we also offer enrichment programs for an extra half hour. These fun classes cover areas such as: Math, Art, Phonics, Movement and Science.
