For children ages 2-5, we offer a quality preschool program designed to enhance each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. We pride ourselves in offering our MSDE Accredited preschool program for all children in our care.

Preschool is offered from 9 am-3 pm during the regular school year in the following schedules:

• • 5 Day (Monday-Friday)
  • 3 Day (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays)

We follow the Frederick County Public School calendar for closing and delays. We utilize the Creative Curriculum in all preschool classes, which allows our teachers to unlock their full teaching skills and potential, as well as develop plans appropriate to each child’s abilities. Weekly lesson plans are posted that include seven domains of learning styles.
