Central Branch Preschool provides a program that encourages children to explore, discover and develop under the guidance of experienced, caring teachers. Small groups of children give the staff time and energy to form close relationships with each child, to nurture love and trust, to share feelings and problems in what may be a first group experience outside of the home. In this setting, children develop social skills and gain confidence in themselves and their relation to the outside world.
Emphasis is on the whole child: physical, emotional, intellectual and linguistic. Young children learn by doing, by actively working with things in their environment, using all their senses. Development of language is crucial at preschool age, both as a vehicle for self-expression and communication, and as the foundation for later work in the language arts.
