The focus is on enjoying this time in the child's development, learning to listen and to talk with your child. The maximum class size of twelve allows a small ratio for individual attention and interaction. Each family has a Family Consultant as an expert resource about development. Parents meet weekly with the Family Consultant, who also observes in the classroom and talks regularly with teachers. Allen Creek's Preschool Programs build upon each child's experience of a widening world to foster social, cognitive, motor, creative and personal skills.
Children are prepared to thrive socially and academically in elementary school.
Children and parents at Allen Creek are encouraged to separate at their own pace, supported by teachers and Family Consultants. A gradual separation process promotes comfortable independence in a secure, loving environment. At Allen Creek Preschool, we offer discussion groups for parents with a Family Consultant in two formats. Each allows for informal learning and discussion about different aspects of young children's growth. Child Development Series Evening meetings are scheduled once each term during the school year.
