Achieving Kindergarten Readiness
For active little achievers, Preschool is an essential part of the journey to elementary school, and future academic success. Hands-on early childhood learning experiences help children develop key school readiness skills. Our Preschool program focuses on:
- Fostering independence
- Cooperation & communication skills
- Hands-on learning
- Literacy and number concepts
Curriculum and Developmental Scales
Our Young Achievers™ educational curriculum follows the HighScope philosophy. The foundation of the HighScope approach is active learning—in which students have direct, hands-on experiences with people, materials, and ideas—and a robust Plan-Do-Review process. Our digital lesson planning tool generates customized curriculum, based on teachers observing and assessing children, while children achieve milestones across 10 developmental scales.
