4. There are options for the number of days you want your child to be at Preschool.  You can pick what works best for your family.
5. Your child will have a certified Early Childhood Teacher that has been trained in the above programs and in the Project Construct Curriculum. The curriculum is aligned with the State of Missouri’s Early Childhood Standards.
6. The number one goal of our Preschool is socialization and preparation for Kindergarten. This preparation also includes laying the foundations of reading, writing, math, and other areas of academics to help your child reach their fullest potential.
