our programs

The Wee Learn programs explore learning through a quality, center-based curriculum for ages two, three, and four year-olds.

On My Way is a one-hour program designed for two year olds to experience a positive learning environment while having “fun” in a structured setting along with a parent, guardian or caretaker. The preparatory preschool curriculum of hands-on, as well as teacher-directed, activities is designed to encourage developmental growth in creativity, confidence and communication. The learning program includes story time, music, movement, arts & crafts and prayer. Let your child develop a love of reading and enter a world of imaginative activities: Listen to Sammy the Squirrel read a story, go to the Apple Orchard and pick apples in the classroom, celebrate a birthday party for Jesus and much, much more!

Preschool is a program for children who are three years old by September 30th.  This two-day preschool class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  The child's first independent school experience will emphasize the joy of learning.

Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) is a program for children who are four years old by September 30th.  Two different options are offered for Pre-K:
  • Three-day class meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
  • Four-day class meets on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday

Along with kindergarten readiness, these enriching programs nurture the social and emotional development of each individual child.
