Programs

Programs for ages 2–5.

Grace Preschool offers age-appropriate programs for children ages 2–5 that encourage curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.

 

Through small class sizes, a 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio, and a play-based curriculum, children develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical skills that prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.

 

Below you'll find details about each of our programs, along with information about our schedule, enrichment opportunities, and extended care options.

2-3 Years Old

Must be 2 yrs. by August 25​

  • Tues/Thurs ($490/month)​​

  • Tue/Thurs/Fri ($656/month)​

This 2-3 year old program is created as an introduction to an independent social setting. It is designed to give the child a gentle, protected environment that will allow them opportunities to try out their emerging social skills. 

 

The teacher guides them to demonstrate appropriate behaviors while interacting with peers as they continue to develop their individual personalities. Children are introduced to the joys of school with games, stories, songs, and process art experiences using a wide variety of materials.

Potty training is not required. Our school provides diapering services, until the child is trained. ​

3-4 Years Old

Must be 3 yrs. by August 25​

  • Mon/Wed/Fri ($656/month),

  • Mon-Thurs ($745/month)

  • Mon-Fri ($833/month)

Our goal for the 3 year old class is to develop an increased confidence in their ability to do things for themselves and others. At this age, children also develop a great curiosity for the magic power of written and spoken language.

 

Grace provides a positive interactive experience fostering these progressing academic skills while considering the child's individual creative expressions. Guided by the children's interests, we inevitably produce a platform for further discovery and exploration extensions on a wide variety of topics. This particular program has activities designed to further challenge cognitive skills and encourage children to master tasks which are developmentally appropriate for their physical and social development. ​

 

*This program is designed for children who WILL NOT be entering kindergarten next year.

Early Drop Off

An 8:30 AM drop-off on the playground is offered for those who find it useful on those busy mornings. Families may stay with their student until 8:45 AM, or drop-off and leave if needed. Staff will be outdoors to supervise all early arrivals and make sure they enter their classroom.

Diapering and Potty Training

Grace Preschool is happy to provide diapering services for those little ones who are not quite ready for independent pottying. We understand that each child develops at their own pace and are here to help support your family during this transition.

 

If you would like, our trained staff will work with you and your child to help your child meet their potty training goals. Please speak to your teacher for more details and to plan for your child's individual needs.
