In our HighScope preschool program, children are guided to explore, interact, and exercise their creative imagination through purposeful play.

Certified teachers and trained staff ignite children’s interest in learning by creating an environment that encourages them to explore diverse learning materials and interact with adults and peers. We focus on supporting early learners as they make decisions, build academic skills, develop socially and emotionally, and become part of a classroom community, so children enter school ready and eager to learn.

We also encourage our parents and other family members to have open communication with staff to help ensure a high-quality experience for all learners.
