Natural Wonders Preschool Inc.

Hours of operation:

Natural Wonders Preschool operates from 5:30am to 6:00pm: Monday thru Friday. We are a full day Preschool program.

Philosophy:

We believe children have a natural curiosity to explore the world around them. We will incorporate nature as a part of our curriculum in the areas of development, which includes cognitive, social emotional, language, and physical. We will focus our curriculum on the needs of the children to make sure they are ready to succeed as they transition into kindergarten.

We believe a parent is the child's first and most important teacher. We will build a relationship between home, school, and the community. We will encourage the children to respect and appreciate the diversity in others, solve problems, and learn to think for themselves.

We believe having an exciting and inviting environment will inspire community members to contribute to the success of our program. We will invite children, families, and community members to participate in program activities.
