Preschool

At Step by Step, our preschool classrooms help children further build on the skills honed in our earlier classrooms through both structured play-based learning centers and free play.

Children in our preschool program learn through both dedicated activities that fit the week’s theme and free play. A new theme each week not only exposes your child to new topics, but also provides ample opportunity for play-based learning. In addition to teacher-guided activities developed to reinforce the weekly theme, students are always practicing letters, numbers, colors and shapes.

All of our centers are designed to foster curious minds. Your child will be learning all day long, whether it is through role play activities in Housekeeping, using blocks to construct towers, or searching for items through sand or rice in a sensory center. Teachers support your child’s curiosity and will help guide children to problem-solve and make good decisions during play. As children move through our preschool classrooms, they begin to gain more independence.

Children are encouraged to choose classroom jobs to promote responsibility. Small incentives are used to promote making good decisions and to hold students accountable for their behavior throughout the day.

At Step by Step, teachers strive to know each child and family in order to set your child up for success in all areas of development. Teachers are happy to work with your child on milestones like potty training.
