The learning environment is designed around play-based activities and social interaction is encouraged. Appropriate social behavior is modeled and encouraged. The individual interests of each child are shared and valued. Fine motor skills are exercised with sensory activities and arts and crafts. An appreciation of literature and music is fostered through sharing and role playing.  Skills of independence and self-help are shared and encouraged. The act of sharing and the value of friendship are constant themes. It is highly encouraged that children in the 3 year old class be potty trained.  Our staff is happy to work with you to help potty train your 3 year old. 

We are excited to offer an Extended Day Program for our Foxes! Beginning at 12:15 p.m. with a community lunch, this program provides extra time for your child to dive into science experiments, creative media, and active play. Led by a dedicated Preschool teacher, the afternoon focuses on fostering the independence and confidence your child will need for Pre-Kindergarten. Because consistency is key at this age, we ask that families enroll for the full school year to ensure a stable and thriving environment for all our young learners.

Introducing the LPS Fall Fives: Kindergarten Prep

Our new Fall Fives Program is specifically designed for children who turn five in the fall months and just miss the traditional Kindergarten cut-off date. To enroll, children must reach their fifth birthday by December 30th. This program serves as a bridge, providing older Pre-K learners with the structure and independence they need to thrive in a full-time school environment.

A Specialized Curriculum By utilizing longer school days, the program helps children acclimate to the rhythm of a Kindergarten schedule. Our curriculum carefully balances purposeful play with academic instruction, allowing for multi-day projects that deepen comprehension and skill-building. With a low 1:8 teacher-to-child ratio, we offer an intimate setting that fosters social, emotional, and cognitive development. Your child will engage in hands-on science experiments and gross motor play while strengthening their letter recognition and math skills.

Program Options & Commitment Families can choose between two schedule options:

• Option 1: Monday – Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

• Option 2: Monday – Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., plus Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Because this program is designed to build long-term confidence and academic readiness, it is a full-school-year commitment. Please note that we are unable to transition students back to a morning-only program during the school year.
