Our Philosophy: Learning That Fits Your Child<\/span><\/h2>\nWe believe preschool should meet children where they are, not the other way around. That\u2019s why we use the Creative Curriculum, an industry-recognized, research-based framework that empowers our teachers to tailor lesson plans to each child\u2019s unique developmental journey.<\/span><\/p>\nThrough our partnership with Teaching Strategies, our educators have access to live webinars, for-credit courses, and an interconnected online system that helps them track progress, plan engaging activities, and keep learning fresh. The result? Classrooms that buzz with purposeful play, hands-on exploration, and just the right level of challenge.<\/span><\/p>\nA Whole-Child Approach (That Includes You!)<\/span><\/h2>\nWe know children thrive when parents and teachers are on the same page. That\u2019s why we keep families connected through our Tadpoles app. Each day, you\u2019ll get updates with photos, videos, and notes about your child\u2019s activities and milestones. You can even message the classroom directly, because sometimes you just need to know if they ate their lunch or wore the silly hat for Wacky Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\nOur curriculum doesn\u2019t just focus on academics. We build social-emotional skills, problem-solving abilities, and a love for learning, one art project, nature walk, and story time at a time.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat to Expect: Daily Life at Celebree<\/span><\/h2>\n\n- Snack & Fun Day Calendars<\/span><\/strong>: Each month, you\u2019ll get two calendars. One lists morning and afternoon snacks, the other highlights special events, spirit days, and fun facts. Yes, your child may come home explaining National Penguin Awareness Day.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Healthy Lunches<\/span><\/strong>: We recommend including one grain, one protein, and two servings of fruits or veggies in your child\u2019s lunch. Milk is always served, and if something\u2019s missing, we\u2019ll supplement to make sure your child gets a balanced meal.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Clothing<\/span><\/strong>: Accidents, spills, and muddy adventures happen! Keep an extra set of clothes (including underwear) in your child\u2019s cubby. Each child has their own bin to store these items.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Medication<\/span><\/strong>: We can only administer medication with a signed form from your child\u2019s doctor. This applies to both prescription and over-the-counter meds.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Absences<\/span><\/strong>: If your child will be out, give us a quick call. We like to know whether they\u2019re home with the sniffles or enjoying a family day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
First Day Must-Haves<\/span><\/h2>\nHere\u2019s your preschool starter pack:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Extra clothes (at least one full set)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Crib sheet and blanket for nap time<\/span><\/li>\n
- Diapers, pull-ups, and wipes (if needed)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Lunch (everything labeled with your child\u2019s first and last name)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Pro tip: <\/span><\/strong>Label everything. Seriously. Preschoolers are excellent at sharing, sometimes even their socks.<\/span><\/p>\nIntentional Learning, Joyful Exploration<\/span><\/h2>\nPreschool at Celebree School isn\u2019t about rushing kids toward the next milestone. It\u2019s about savoring each stage of growth. We design our lessons to tap into children\u2019s natural curiosity, whether they\u2019re building block towers, investigating the properties of water, or pretending to run a farmers\u2019 market in dramatic play.<\/span><\/p>\nBy creating an environment where kids feel safe to explore, we help them develop independence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Our approach encourages empathy, creativity, and confidence, which are skills that will serve them long after they leave our classrooms.<\/span><\/p>\nYour Partner in Early Education<\/span><\/h2>\nEnrolling your child in preschool is more than a to-do list item. It\u2019s the start of a partnership.
