We are unique…as a university based preschool many of our families and staff speak different languages and come from far off places. Children enrolled also are a diverse ethnic mix which enhances our ability to design a multicultural education. The emergent curriculum helps children develop an appreciation for diversity. We welcome children with challenges and integrate them into the classes. We also believe in mixed age grouping for the learning environment as children work together in a variety of stages of development.

We are unique…housed on a major university campus our children experience extraordinary opportunities to be engaged in cultural, artistic, scientific and academic activities. We believe the out-of-doors is an important part of the learning environment so our playground is designed to facilitate open-ended play and exploration and the grassy area provides a natural habitat experience.

We are unique…as part of a teachers college our staff respond to the latest research for best practices in early childhood education. Our play-based curriculum provides young children the opportunity to learn, grow and develop within the context of naturally occurring play. The environment is carefully planned to stimulate curiosity and investigation. Teachers guide and support children throughout the day in their social interactions as well as independent learning.
