Prepare for Kindergarten with Preschool in Wilmington, DE
At Celebree School of Pike Creek, preschool is more than a daily routine. It’s the beginning of your child’s learning journey. Our preschool in Wilmington, DE, is where early curiosity meets nurturing care, and where social-emotional growth is just as important as letters and numbers.
We’re here to help your child grow into a confident, kind, and capable learner, ready to take on kindergarten and the world beyond.
It’s Not Just Preschool, It’s Pre-Success
Preschool should be a place where your child feels safe to explore, ask questions, make mistakes, and discover who they are. That’s exactly what we offer at Celebree School of Pike Creek, starting with our infant care program.
We create an environment where children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Whether your child is learning how to take turns, recognize letter sounds, or zip their jacket all by themselves, we’re cheering them on every step of the way. And those little wins? They build big confidence.
Our preschool is the bridge between toddlerhood and kindergarten readiness. We nurture independence, spark creativity, and provide just enough structure to prepare your child for their next big milestone.
Kindergarten Readiness, One Step at a Time
We know that kindergarten readiness isn’t a one-size-fits-all goal. Every child grows at their own pace, and we honor that. From the moment your child enters our day care center, we gently introduce structure while still leaving room for joy, play, and discovery.
To support each child’s development, we use the Work Sampling System and maintain individual portfolios to monitor progress in the 7 Domains of Learning.
From age three through kindergarten prep, our team conducts formal assessments that help us guide your child’s growth, both academically and emotionally. It’s a holistic approach that supports the whole child, not just the future student.
Our Preschool Program: Where the Whole Child Shines
At Celebree School of Pike Creek, our preschool curriculum is intentionally designed to engage the body, mind, and heart. Every activity, every routine, and every interaction has a purpose. Here’s what you can expect:
- Self-help skills are taught through everyday routines like cleaning up, washing hands, and organizing personal items—building independence and resilience.
- Social skills grow through play, group work, and lots of opportunities to build friendships.
- Language and literacy development happen through storytime, group discussions, and early writing opportunities.
- Phonetic awareness connects to early math and science skills through songs, games, and hands-on discovery.
- Arts, crafts, and movement support fine and gross motor development, and give kids the freedom to express themselves.
- Confidence comes naturally as your child begins to understand their capabilities and celebrate their achievements.
Our preschool program sets the excellence standard for all early childhood education centers focusing on kindergarten readiness.

Personal Spaces for Comfort and Confidence
We know little ones thrive with a sense of ownership. That’s why every child in our preschool program has their own cot for nap time and a cubby for personal belongings. These small touches help kids feel settled and secure in their space.

Partnerships That Start at Drop-Off
You know your child best, and we’re here to be your partner. We work closely with families to make the transition between home and school smooth and stress-free. At the beginning of your journey with us, we ask parents to share important details about your child’s schedule, preferences, and needs.

Progress Reports That Celebrate Growth
Your child is constantly learning, growing, and changing, and we want you to see that, too. Our teachers provide semi-annual progress reports highlighting milestones, learning goals, and areas for continued growth, guiding personalized learning throughout the year.

Daily Reports for Daily Peace of Mind
When your child is in preschool, you want to know how their day went. That’s why we send home a daily report every evening. It’s an easy way to stay connected and keep the conversation going at home.
