Our Preschool Classroom
Your 3-year-old is opening up their world, developing special friendships, learning new words and forming new ideas every day. Through purposeful play, meaningful questions and direct instruction, our Preschool teachers encourage your child to think in new and different ways. Your child will have so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re developing the skills they’ll need for reading and math.

She wants the children in her class to feel loved and safe while in her care. The best part of the day to Ms. O’Keefe is art because she enjoys seeing the kids in her class create and be excited about their work.
