Preschool (2 ½ – 4 years)

Ages: 2 ½ to 4 years

In our preschool classroom, children ages 2 ½ to 4 are discovering how to explore the world with independence, creativity, and excitement. Our program in early childhood education in Eatonville, Washington supports this critical stage, helping children develop early literacy and math skills, learning to follow routines, and expand their social and emotional abilities. Every activity is designed to match their growing attention span and desire to try new things.

Preschoolers engage in art, science experiments, dramatic play, music, and group projects that encourage problem-solving, cooperation, and self-expression. Both Spanish and English are integrated into daily activities, songs, and stories, helping children develop bilingual communication skills, strengthen memory, and think flexibly.

Social-emotional growth is key: children learn to share, take turns, express their feelings, and build friendships. Our teachers provide guidance, encouragement, and positive challenges that foster independence, confidence, and a love for learning. By the end of preschool, children are well-prepared for pre-K with strong cognitive, language, and social skills, and the excitement to keep exploring and learning.

Our preschool experience goes beyond traditional early childhood education by combining engaging play with structured language exposure. Each activity is carefully designed to support cognitive, emotional, and social growth while introducing children to both their native language and a second language naturally. Our teachers use interactive techniques that encourage communication, exploration, and curiosity, ensuring every child feels supported and inspired to discover the world around them.

• Language Immersion From the Start: Children are gently introduced to a second language through daily routines, songs, and storytelling, which helps them develop bilingual communication skills in a natural way
• Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum: Lessons and activities are tailored to each child’s developmental stage, ensuring they build essential skills without feeling overwhelmed
• Social and Emotional Growth: Children learn to navigate relationships, share, cooperate, and express their feelings, laying the groundwork for positive social interactions
• Creative Play-Based Learning: Hands-on experiences, arts, and imaginative play foster curiosity, problem-solving, and cognitive development while making learning fun
• Parent Partnership and Support: Families are engaged through regular updates, workshops, and communication, helping reinforce learning at home and providing guidance for nurturing bilingual growth
