A Closer Look at our Virtual Preschool Education Program with a Certified Teacher
Our teachers introduce children to all elements of a high-quality preschool curriculum, including literacy, math, science, and social studies. Teachers also nurture social-emotional development, especially critical for young learners ages 3, 4, and 5 years. The sessions are a combination of full class and small groups, and parents have the opportunity for one-on-one consultation with our certified teachers. Although it can never replace the powerful learning environment that our on-site program provides, during the COVID-19 crisis our Virtual Preschool Program with a Certified Teacher is a way to support children's development in the critical early learning years.
