Preschool Classroom Learning Centers

For the love of building independence
At this age, your child is getting to know who they are and what they’re interested in! Teachers share thought-provoking prompts as part of our Learn as We Grow curriculum to help them become capable, creative, and confident students. The classroom for our Preschool Program includes seven thoughtfully designed Learning Centers to inspire joyful exploration and creativity.

Communications Center

So much to say, so little time! Preschoolers use the Communications Center to hone their ever-evolving language skills as they work toward writing, reading, and communicating. Fine motor skills are also on display as they cut, paste, organize, and assemble projects.

Creation Center

What do you see, notice, or wonder about? Art materials are kept in the Creation Center to encourage preschoolers to explore artistic expression. Grab an apron and see where the paintbrush takes you! There’s also a collection of beads, clay, and more.

Discovery Center

Practice foundational concepts needed for math and science by comparing, sorting, measuring, and weighing. Your preschooler is learning important academic skills in our Discovery Center as they play with scoops, water toys, light tables, and puzzles.

Imagination Center

Dream of singing, dancing, or acting? The Imagination Center has it all! It’s the perfect area to let your inner performer do the talking. Pretend play runs the show, and all performances are unscripted. Your preschooler may come home asking to put on a concert!

Invention Center

Whether prompted by a question or natural curiosity, preschoolers will love having the chance to try unique building materials in the Invention Center. They’ll work with other students to discover solutions and work together to create something extra cool.

Investigation Center

A sensory haven! Preschoolers are eager to use all five senses to make discoveries in the Investigation Center. They’re naturally curious at this age, so they’ll be eager to try the magnet wand, peer through the microscope, or flip through a science book for ideas.

Reflections Center

As your preschooler continues to grow and learn, having quiet time is an important part of our day. The Reflection Center gives them a soft space (think pillows and stuffies) to process what they’re learning and how they’re feeling. Growing up is a big adventure!

Preschool Program FAQs

Yes, our preschool program offers flexible, year-round enrollment to help families start when the timing is right for them. Availability may vary by classroom and location, so we encourage you to contact your local early learning center to learn about current openings and enrollment options.

In preschool, children develop important early learning skills across language, social-emotional growth, physical coordination, and early cognitive development in a structured yet engaging classroom setting. Through hands-on activities and guided learning experiences, they practice communication, cooperation, and problem-solving while building confidence and independence that support readiness for kindergarten and future school success.

To help your child stay comfortable throughout the preschool day, please send at least one full change of clothing in case of spills or minor accidents. Including a sweater or light jacket is also helpful for adjusting to indoor and outdoor temperature changes during daily activities. For easy identification, label all clothing and personal belongings with your child’s first and last name using permanent ink.

Preschool supports kindergarten readiness by strengthening both early academic abilities and social-emotional skills within a structured classroom environment. Children practice working cooperatively with classmates, following routines, and building confidence as independent learners. Language development is encouraged through conversations, storytelling, and sharing ideas with peers, while hands-on activities inspire curiosity and active participation—helping children feel prepared for the transition to kindergarten.
