Full Program Schedule Returning in the Fall
The Play & Explore program is designed to offer 3-5 year olds the opportunity to explore their world through music, movement, science, cooking,  art, sensory exploration, dramatic play and social interaction all in a fun, safe and nurturing environment.  Preschool Adventures is a perfect complement to the other half of your child's half-day preschool program, or for a 3 year old as their pre-preschool experience.
Play & Explore follows a "storybook" curriculum of themed activities based on children's literature.
Our small group format allows for our teachers to get to know each child and to foster their
interests and encourage exploration of new areas.
Our varied activities are developmentally appropriate and designed to encourage self expression,
independence, social cooperation, problem solving and lots of messy hands-on fun.
Leave the sticky-gluey-painty-doughy-slimy mess-making (and clean-up) to us!
​
Parents are welcome to stay and observe from our waiting room, or to run a few errands!
This program is lovingly facilitated by two of our talented and devoted staff members with
decades of experience working with young children:
 Lori Hill, OTR/L 
& Antonella D'Aloia, Preschool Teacher and Art Teacher 

FALL: Tuesdays and Thursdays
9:00-12:00  (3 hours per day)

Perfect for:
  • a child who will benefit from opportunities for facilitated social practice
