Preschoolers
Welcome Preschoolers! Your child will enjoy even more exciting experiences when they move up to one of our Preschool groups. It is here that children sing, dance, create, run, jump, explore, discover, and engage in imaginative and cooperative play.
Our Educators co-plan an environment with their children that invites opportunities for strengthening friendships and discovering more of the world around them. The children will be challenged to their fullest learning potential and to develop skills that set a solid foundation for their future successes.
Our exceptional outdoor program includes a play yard with a sand area shaded by a large maple tree. In the summer, we have a special outdoor program to take advantage of the beautiful weather with lots of fun games, activities and exploration. We pull out our pools for splashing and dig for treasures in our sand area. Our unique climber and the large paved bike path also offers many hours of fun large-motor play.
Before your child starts at Arbour Glen, you will both come for a visit to our room. Tell us everything you would like us to know! Ask us any other questions you may have. We want you and your child to feel at home. Your child’s next visit will be a short morning or afternoon to let them experience Arbour Glen on their own. We also welcome any and every question and encourage you to call and check in as often as you’d like. We want you to feel connected to their day. Once enrolled, our Educators take time to welcome you each day and hear about your little one’s night.
But once you leave for work, don’t think you’re going to miss out on the fun! We believe the connection with families is very important to a child’s development. We take lots of photos that document children busy at play. We use ‘StoryPark’, a digital online portfolio app, to share with you a glimpse into their time spent with us! You will receive occasional snapshots of something special they are doing and an online portfolio of your child’s adventures. Participation in ‘StoryPark’ is optional, so we will create paper portfolios for those who choose not to. We also post ‘Learning Stories’ that share a little of what we’ve been up to, so don’t forget to check our bulletin boards and other documentation.

What Our Families Say
“Our preschooler has been at Arbour Glen since she was an infant and she has thrived here. The staff are compassionate, empathetic and extremely knowledgeable. The Preschool room has been especially amazing to further expand her skills. She's become so confident and independent. They get to know each individual child as their own little person. I can't recommend them enough.”
- Sarah M.
