Four Seasons Preschool provides a safe and caring environment where
children feel secure and learning is a positive experience. Our goal is to
have the children leave the program with a positive sense of self, a joy
of learning, and the skills they need to enter kindergarten.
Learning takes place through the use of many hands-on activities based
on a developmentally appropriate curriculum. The children are taught
using a theme based approach. As each new interesting theme is intro-
duced the children’s natural curiosity and joy of learning is enhanced
and their knowledge expanded in a variety of areas.
Four Seasons Preschool understands the importance of playtime,
because children learn through play. Children also need space and
plenty of materials on hand to explore and manipulate to enhance their
learning experience. These needs are met in a very large classroom filled
with many materials that encourage creativity, dramatic play, science
experimentation, construction, fine and gross motor development
and socialization skills.
Preschool should be a lot of fun and a great experience for children.
We realize this and plan a curriculum that is interesting and enjoyable
for the children.
We are located in the Mahany/Meininger Senior Community Center,
3500 Marais (1 block north of 13 Mile, 3 blocks east of Crooks).
