Early Preschool

Miss Abby is the teacher for our lovely Lavender Explorers! This is our younger two's program, their ages range from twenty-four months to thirty months. Mrs. Mady is with our older two's, the darling Dogwood Explorers! Their ages range from thirty months to thirty-six months. 

Some of their favorite activities include nature-based art, pretend play, and exploring our garden!

Throughout the year our teachers are consistently evaluating each child based on age-appropriate benchmarks in order to assess individual growth and development. We believe this enables us to communicate with families and set realistic goals that will set your child up for success throughout their future!
