Preschool Program

Our school year begins after Labor Day and ends the week after Memorial Day. The 4-5 year old class meets MWF from 8:45am to 12:00pm and our 3-4 year old class meets on TR from 8:45am- 11:45am. Children must be 3 or 4 by September 1st to be accepted into the appropriate class.  4s class size is 14 and 3s class size is 10.

Our goal is to provide preschool aged children with a secure, loving Christian environment where they may grow physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.  Using developmentally appropriate practices, the children will participate in theme-based hands-on activities that will give them the opportunity to explore, discover, imagine and create while building confidence and independence.

What will AWB Preschool provide for your child?
A place to develop an attitude of thoughtfulness and consideration of others in a diverse setting.
A chance to assert independence and assume responsibility by performing self-care tasks & doing class jobs.
A basic understanding of numbers, letters, colors and shapes.
An opportunity to develop communication and language skills in groups and one-to-one.
An outlet for self-expression and creativity through art, music, and dramatic play.
A chance to gain coordination and physical fitness in the gym.
A safe place to transition from home to elementary school by learning skills like walking in line, raising hands, taking turns, self-care, being part of a group, and making friends.

Preschool children will be going outdoors everyday for large motor time as long as the weather cooperates.  When the weather is inclement, they will do music and movement activities in the classroom.  They may take walks or short field trips around the neighborhood.
