At Celebree School of Frederick, we believe that the right kind of structure can make all the difference. Our preschool in Frederick, MD, offers a well-balanced, thoughtfully designed program that gives children just enough routine to feel secure, while leaving plenty of room for creativity, exploration, and play.
Preschoolers need some structure (and parents love it too). But they also need the freedom to be, well, preschoolers. Our program strikes the perfect balance.
Why Structure Matters in Preschool
Preschool-aged children are soaking up the world around them at an incredible pace. While they thrive on fun and spontaneity, they also flourish when there’s a rhythm to their day. That’s where a structured preschool program steps in.
Here’s why structure is such a big deal at this stage:
- Predictability builds confidence. When kids know what to expect, they feel safe and in control.
- Consistent routines strengthen independence. Daily schedules help children learn how to transition, follow directions, and take ownership of their day.
- Balance supports growth. With a structured program, there’s time for learning, time for playing, time for snacks (obviously), and time to rest.
Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment where structure helps your child grow, not feel boxed in.
A Day in the Life at Celebree School of Frederick
So, what does a structured day look like at our preschool?
Morning Arrival and Free Play
Children ease into the day with free play, which helps them transition from home to school in a low-pressure, fun way.
Circle Time
Together, we talk about the weather, calendar, feelings, and what’s on the schedule. It’s a chance for kids to connect and kick off the day as a group.
Academic Exploration
Through guided activities, children explore early literacy, math, science, and social studies. Don’t worry, there are no desks or textbooks here. It’s hands-on, movement-based, and packed with discovery.
Snack and Outdoor Time
Fresh air and goldfish crackers? Yes, please. We build time for healthy snacks and active outdoor play to keep minds and bodies happy.
Creative Time
Think painting, dancing, building, and imagining. Structured doesn’t mean stiff, we make room for messy fun too.
Lunch, Nap, and Afternoon Learning
Even the second half of the day follows a rhythm that helps children feel calm and capable. After rest time, there are more engaging activities before heading home.
Academic and Social Wins (Without Pressure)
A structured preschool program introduces important academic concepts in a gentle, age-appropriate way. At Celebree, your child will begin to:
- Recognize letters and sounds
- Understand numbers and patterns
- Explore science and the natural world
- Express themselves through art, music, and dramatic play
At the same time, they’ll be building essential social-emotional skills:’
- Following directions
- Taking turns
- Solving conflicts
- Managing emotions
This dual approach means they’re not just getting ready for kindergarten, they’re gaining the tools to thrive.
Meet the Teachers Behind the Structure
Our teachers bring the magic to the routine. They guide, support, and nurture your child through each part of the day. More than anything, they know preschoolers, including what excites them, what challenges them, and what helps them feel successful.
We keep things flexible enough to follow each child’s interests but grounded enough to maintain flow and focus.
