The Connection Preschool welcomes children and families from all backgrounds and abilities. Our classroom and schedule are designed to keep children engaged in their learning which includes frequent transitions throughout the day. If your child has received early intervention services, has been referred for services, and/or had or has a one-to-one therapist or paraprofessional, we require a meeting with The Connection Preschool teachers, the parents, and the BCBA from the child’s program. Please note that we do have space constraints for additional adults in the classroom.
Our weekly learning themes encourage preschoolers to be creative by imagining, designing, implementing, and improving on their own ideas while also collaborating with preschool friends.
- Learning Centers
Daily opportunities to participate in developmentally-appropriate activities that help children learn new skills or practice existing skills in a fun, engaging, and supportive learning environment.
- Creative Arts
Preschoolers explore their environment by moving, touching, and experimenting with different types of materials to express ideas.
- Imaginative Play
Preschoolers role-play and engage with one another learning social skills and cultural awareness. They develop cooperation and negotiation skills while sharing their ideas and experiences within their play.
- Interactive Read Aloud
Purposeful and planned story time encourages preschoolers to actively take part by asking and answering questions and making predictions.
