Laying the Groundwork for a Bright Future
Big learning starts small. That’s the magic of preschool in Forest Hill, MD, at Celebree School—where tiny hands, big imaginations, and boundless curiosity come together to build a solid foundation for a lifetime of learning.
We don’t believe in rushing childhood. We believe in embracing it. At Celebree School of Forest Hill, preschoolers are given the space to grow socially, emotionally, and academically at their own pace—because that’s where the strongest roots take hold.
What Does a Strong Foundation Look Like in Preschool?
It looks like a four-year-old who feels confident enough to ask a question in circle time.
It sounds like laughter during a counting game.
It feels like the joy of learning something new just because it’s fun.
Our preschool program is carefully designed to support the whole child. That means we’re just as focused on helping kids take turns and manage their emotions as we are on teaching them letters and numbers.
A child who knows how to get along with others and bounce back after a mistake? That’s a child who’s ready to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
Academic Skills, Preschool Style
At Celebree School of Forest Hill, we introduce early literacy, math, science, and problem-solving through hands-on activities, play-based learning, and lots of creative exploration.
Here’s how it looks in action:
- Literacy: Singing songs, identifying letters in their name, reading stories aloud, and drawing pictures to “write” their own ideas.
- Math: Sorting toys by color, counting crackers at snack time, and spotting patterns during art projects.
- Science: Planting seeds, making predictions, exploring cause and effect, and asking “why?” (a lot).
- Fine motor development: Cutting with scissors, stringing beads, and practicing pencil grips—all while having fun.
The goal? To create an early love of learning that carries over into every stage of life.
The Power of Play (With a Purpose)
Play isn’t just fun, it’s how preschoolers learn best. Through play, children develop communication skills, build friendships, experiment with problem-solving, and practice real-world situations in ways that feel safe and natural.
Whether it’s pretending to run a grocery store, building a city with blocks, or exploring textures in a sensory bin, your child is soaking up valuable skills while simply being a kid.
That’s the beauty of our approach: Learning doesn’t feel like work, it feels like wonder.
Emotional Readiness Is Academic Readiness
We take emotional growth seriously because it’s the heart of everything else. Children in our preschool program learn how to:
- Recognize and talk about their feelings
- Practice empathy and kindness
- Take turns and collaborate
- Build resilience when something doesn’t go their way
These skills not only make preschool a happier place. They make for stronger learners and more confident kids.
A Personalized Approach to Early Learning
Every child is unique, and that’s how we treat them. Our teachers get to know each preschooler’s strengths, personality, and learning style so they can tailor activities accordingly.
At Celebree School of Forest Hill, your child won’t get lost in the crowd. They’ll be seen, celebrated, and supported every step of the way.
We’re Partners in Your Child’s Journey
Parent partnerships are a big part of what makes our preschool community special. We’ll keep you in the loop with updates, progress notes, and plenty of sweet (and sometimes messy) moments from your child’s day.
Got questions about potty training, emotional development, or what to pack for lunch? We’re here for all of it.
