The senses are the gateway to unlimited learning experiences. Sensory play and activities include anything that stimulates your child’s senses including taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing. These activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate, and explore. Each week we will focus on different aspects of learning through a variety of sensory activities specifically designed to address these skills. Please dress for possible messy activities. Let us know of any allergies at the time of registration as some activities may involve food or items that may end up in mouth or on skin. This is a parent/child program.

Every year we receive questions from parents asking us if their child is ready for preschool. We asked our preschool teachers to help us develop a list of skills that they think make a well-rounded preschooler and we are putting that list to use in this great educational class. We will focus on fine motor skills involving pencil grip and writing, painting, scissors and gluing. We will also work on buttons, zippers, and puzzles. Some of our time each week will also be spent on following directions through carpet/story time, songs, dances and simple academic worksheets. Each class will have a short playtime to work on socialization and friendship.  This is a drop-off program.
