Our preschool classroom is designed for children ages 3 – 5 years old. A mixed age classroom reduces the number of transitions children and parents experience. This model also gives children the time they need to acquire and master preschool skills without the pressure of “getting ready.” Providing for children's needs in the moment will help them develop the confidence needed to overcome any challenge. We celebrate each child each day they are in our care. 

Small Class Sizes

The preschool students are split into two groups – A and B. Group A complete their small group lessons and the Plan-Do-Review process with the teacher first, shortly after breakfast. Group B will complete their activities with the teacher later in the morning, before lunch time. The preschool side includes a separate space for students who are not working with the teacher to keep them actively engaged. 

At Curiosity First educators create a literacy rich environment. Children have access to books in a variety of languages that feature children and families from all over the world.  

Children are presented with a variety of building materials. These activities teach young children foundational math and engineering skills. 

Our Safe Space provides children with an area to take a break from playing with friends and regroup. Children are encouraged to be mindful of their emotions and decide when they need time to themselves. 

The Drop-In Room is being developed to provide families with alternative care options and can accommodate children 3 - 12 years old. Children in this room must be potty trained and must be pre-registered before drop-off. 

This room is staffed by Childcare Aides who are CPR certified and love working with children of all ages. Children will engage in fun games and activities and spend time at Briggs park. 

All staff member use our Child-Center Guidance Approach, however the High Scope curriculum is not implemented in this room as it is with the preschool and infant/toddler programs.
