Preschool Prep

2 to 3 years old

Welcome to our Preschool Prep program: a supportive morning program designed to build separation confidence & drop-off readiness. In our private, small-group classroom setting, we implement engaging, theme-based activities, allowing children to establish classroom routines and strengthen early learning foundations. Children will be introduced to early literacy, numeracy, and fine-motor development while learning how to be independent in a classroom setting, listen to instructions, transition smoothly, and participate in group learning.

Gradual entry is available for children who are experiencing drop-off for the first time, and our team personalizes each child’s transition plan to support a confident, successful start.

Our drop-off programs have been specifically designed to facilitate a smooth trajectory between stages. Preschool Prep Starter is the first step toward our premium School Skills Academy. Children build the confidence, routines, and classroom readiness skills needed before moving into a more structured, curriculum-based learning environment.

Snack & Personal Care Policy:

All snacks must be nut-free and clearly labeled.

Children who are not fully potty trained are welcome to attend. Our educators support children with regular bathroom and diaper routines as required.
