Our Classroom

A Special Learning Environment

Our preschool offers a special learning environment for our children. Because we believe in play-based learning, we base our classroom structure off of the nationally accredited Adele and Dale Young Child Development Laboratory at Utah State University.

Our classrooms offer active exploration, promoting independence, creative thinking, problem-solving strategies, curiosity, self-help skills, and interpersonal skills.

We believe in teaching to the whole child and their many different learning abilities and interests. Within our classroom walls, your child will find safety and comfort in exploring each learning area.

10 Unique Discovery Zones

Each area changes every couple of weeks according to our thematic learning units, so your child will always find something new and interesting!

Art & Art Easel Center

We believe in process art! We focus on the process rather than the finished product. Children leave with increased confidence because they were encouraged to create according to their own interests using multiple art mediums.

Writing Center

Our writing center encourages children to explore writing letters using different writing mediums. We switch out and add different materials to keep students engaged and curious.

Reading Center

We love to take a deep dive into books and stories! Students develop literacy skills by listening to stories during large group time, reflecting in small groups, and reinvestigating stories during playtime.

Dramatic Play

Pretend play is a key component! Children use dramatic play to explore feelings, expand imagination, gain social skills, develop literacy skills, and learn to self-regulate. Themes change with each unit of study.

Sensory Table

Our sensory table helps children explore their senses and the world around them. It encourages small motor skills, language development, scientific thinking, and builds nerve connections in the brain.

Large Motor Block & Play

Children exercise and strengthen gross muscles with our Jungle Jumparoo, allowing them to jump, hang, swing, and climb. We also include balance beams, basketball hoops, and hula hoops.

Small Motor Blocks & Manipulatives

Building with blocks develops fine motor skills, turn-taking, social skills, hand-eye coordination, math skills, and engineering skills. These materials are switched out according to student interests.

Music & Movement

We incorporate music and movement into every day! We add musical instruments, scarves, costumes, and props to offer variety as we sing, dance, and move our bodies to the beat!

Cooking Experiences

We engage students in cooking within every thematic unit. Children help read recipes, gather ingredients, measure, mix, scoop, and of course—EAT! It's hands-on learning they can taste.

Outside Play

We go outside as much as possible—even in the snow! Children play in the sandbox, swing, ride bikes and scooters. We're always adding new toys and activities to keep curious minds engaged.
