Overview
Our programs are designed to help children learn and grow in a supportive, creative, and encouraging environment to foster a strong start to their education. Each of our age leveled classes are designed to provide our students with the skills and knowledge to thrive as they progress through our preschool classrooms and into Elementary school. Below is a quick description of what each year will encompass and what you can expect your child to learn and experience at our preschool.
Hiland Halfpints
This program is designed for a 2-year-old child and a parent or caregiver to participate together. Having a trusted adult with your child as they start their preschool career allows them to meet new friends and have a positive and engaging experience while having someone they trust right by their side. The Halfpints program encourages children to develop communication skills, socialization, and fine and gross motor skills. The halfpints explore new ideas and themes by participating in discovery centers, age-appropriate lessons, group circle time, singing songs, and simple craft projects.
