Stretch Preschool - Described
Our program takes inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach to learning and creates curriculum based on the children’s interests (emergent) as well as in depth project work. Some of the benefits of our preschool are the consistency of the same children and teachers for the entire year, a home-school connection, opportunities for parent involvement, community events, field trips and parent-teacher conferences. Our teachers and program will nurture your child’s curiosity and innate desire to learn and make sense of the world around them.
