Preschool Prep 1 (PP1)

For children ages 14 months – 5 years Parent participation required

Preschool Prep 1 is a grown-up participation class thoughtfully designed to support early childhood development in a warm, nurturing, and playful environment. Ideal for young learners just beginning their preschool journey, this class helps ease separation anxiety, build early classroom routines, and foster a love of learning through shared experiences.

Each 50-minute session includes a rich blend of:

  • Fine motor activities and sensory play

  • Music and movement to build coordination and rhythm

  • Story time for early literacy and listening skills

  • Arts & crafts to encourage creativity and expression

  • Foundational fitness and active play to support gross motor development

Children are gently introduced to classroom expectations while caregivers model, support, and guide their child’s participation. This co-learning approach supports:

  • Developing separation confidence

  • Increasing independence

  • Following simple instructions

  • Trying new activities in a safe, encouraging space

This class is perfect for families looking to ease into group learning while strengthening the caregiver-child bond and supporting school readiness through connection, joy, and hands-on exploration.
