Our program, for children 2 years 9 months up to 4 years, introduces a small child to that larger world outside of the home. We help children develop good personal habits and self help skills such as washing hands, potty training, dressing themselves and taking care of their belongings. We provide a secure and safe environment where children can feel free to experience new ideas. Skills in language, math, science and the arts are introduced in a hands-on open ended way. Social, gross and fine motor skills are developing at this age. The teachers help children learn how to interact socially with their peers. By helping to develop self esteem and confidence, teachers provide the emotional security children need to develop curiosity and enjoyment in the process of learning.

Humpty Dumpty Is A Perfect Place for Growing - and for Fun

Preschoolers are rapidly expanding their knowledge and mastery of the world around them. Our preschool program provides an enriched environment nourishing each child's development. Discovery areas, play areas and a well-planned day provide many exciting opportunities for individual exploration and both small and large group activities - with plenty of teacher encouragement throughout the day.

Learning Centers:

Every preschool room is arranged into special interest areas, each offering a wide range of interesting materials and activities at a child's eye level.

  • A Language/Library Area filled with books, magazines and listening center.
  • A Math/Manipulatives Area with materials to encourage counting, grouping and sorting.
  • A Creative Arts Area with a variety of materials to explore their budding creativity.
  • Dramatic Play Area for role-playing and pretending.
  • A Science Area for exploring basic concepts using simple materials, such as plants, magnets and small pets.
  • Computer Area with a variety of interesting games that reinforce concepts and introduce beginning computer skills.

Outdoor fun:

This is a highlight for most young children - especially when the equipment and toys are age appropriate. The entire play area available to the children is a fenced, secure environment with constant supervision.

Your child can choose from a variety of outdoor activities, including nature study, and imaginative play - along with some great sliding, climbing, riding, and much more.

Every day is carefully structured to provide children with a balanced routine for learning, growing, and enjoying their day. Short, focused group activities are alternated with individual playtime, small group interactions and rest periods to keep everyone smiling, playing and learning.

Health and Safety:

Your child's safety is very important to us and as you can see our indoor and outdoor areas are safe and secure.
