At Celebree School of Henrico, our preschool in Henrico, VA, is designed to spark curiosity, nurture creativity, and help children develop the skills they need to thrive in school and beyond. Every day is an opportunity for exploration, discovery, and growth, and our classrooms provide a safe, supportive environment where children can learn at their own pace while building confidence and independence.
Building Social Skills Through Play
A big part of early learning isn’t just what children know. It’s how they interact with others. Our preschool classrooms encourage collaboration, sharing, and communication through guided activities and play. Children learn to take turns, express their ideas, and work together to solve problems.
From team games to group art projects, each activity helps young learners develop empathy, cooperation, and the social skills that form the foundation for future academic and personal success.
Hands-On Academic Learning
Academic skills develop naturally when learning is hands-on and fun. At Celebree School of Henrico, we integrate early math, literacy, and science into playful experiences. Counting objects during morning activities, exploring patterns in art projects, or observing the natural world during outdoor time allows children to grasp concepts through real-world connections.
Teachers tailor lessons to each child’s developmental stage, ensuring that every learner is challenged just enough to stay engaged while feeling confident in their abilities.
Encouraging Independence and Responsibility
Our preschool program emphasizes age-appropriate independence, helping children take ownership of daily routines and small tasks. Simple responsibilities—such as tidying up after activities, choosing materials, or managing personal belongings—promote self-confidence and teach children valuable life skills.
These experiences prepare children for the structure and expectations of kindergarten while encouraging problem-solving, decision-making, and a sense of accomplishment.
Fostering Creativity and Critical Thinking
Creativity isn’t just about painting or music. It’s about finding new ways to think, explore, and express ideas. Our classrooms provide open-ended activities that spark imagination and encourage problem-solving. Whether children are building, role-playing, or conducting simple experiments, they are learning to approach challenges with curiosity and confidence.
This type of creative play fosters innovation, flexible thinking, and a lifelong love of learning, which are all essential components of school readiness.
Supporting Emotional Growth
Understanding emotions is as important as academic learning. In our preschool, children learn to recognize and manage their feelings while building empathy for others. Through storytelling, group discussions, and one-on-one guidance, children develop skills in emotional regulation, resilience, and conflict resolution. Tools that help them navigate both school and life with confidence.
Partnering with Families
At Celebree School of Henrico, we believe families are essential partners in a child’s learning journey. Through regular updates, photos, and communications via our parent-friendly app, families can stay connected to their child’s daily experiences and developmental progress. This partnership ensures that learning at school and at home works together to nurture well-rounded, confident children.
