The preschool curriculum is a hands-on multi-sensory approach that incorporates art, music, movement, play, cooking, literacy, and technology. Each of these activities are centered around a piece of literature- fostering curiosity and a lifelong love of reading and learning.

Play is a child's work. It is critical to the development of social, emotional, language, and motor skills. Play is an essential component of our program. Students play outside on one of our developmentally appropriate playgrounds, in the classroom in play centers, and in the therapy settings. Play is facilitated by teachers and modeled through typically developing peers, thus challenging students to develop this essential childhood skill.

The preschool classrooms are rich in visual literacy. Through manipulative language activities, picture communication symbols, and communication board supports students are able to communicate, participate, and retell activities throughout the day- replacing frustration with communication.

Each classroom is supported by a multi-disciplinary team. This team consists of a teacher, teacher assistant, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and speech therapist. Therapists provide therapy that is integrated into the classroom setting, as well as traditional pull-out therapy. Integrating therapy into the classroom setting allows students to generalize and use skills in a functional setting.
