Great Beginnings Preschool Preparation
Great Beginnings Preschool Preparation
Great Beginnings is a preschool preparation program recognizing that children learn best by doing. Play has a vital role in a child’s early development. By giving early learners opportunities to participate in activities that initiate learning and discovery, develop creativity, and encourage children to interact in a group. Classes are designed to help children learn and grow in a stimulating and enriching environment. Our instructors provide nurturing guidance to all children allowing for easier transitions through parent/child separation anxiety. Children do not need to be toilet trained for these classes. It is recommended that classes be taken in order, but children can be enrolled at any level. All classes, except Great Adventures Classes, can be taken multiple times.
