Exploration Builds Strong Problem-Solving Skills

Your pre-kindergartener’s natural curiosity drives their learning. Through hands-on discovery and open-ended exploration, they practice observation, reasoning, and creativity—skills that prepare them to tackle challenges with confidence.

Reading, Writing, Math & Science Flourish Through Play

Play is purposeful in our Pre-K classroom! Engaging centers, experiments, and literacy-rich activities from the High Scope curriculum spark excitement for learning as children recognize letters, count with confidence, and explore the wonders of the world around them.

Emotional Regulation Supports School Success

We guide children in recognizing and managing their emotions, using communication and empathy to build positive relationships. These essential social-emotional tools help them thrive in group settings and transition smoothly into kindergarten.

Active Play Encourages Movement & Focus

From the BEAM interactive floor games to the outdoor playground, children stay active and energized. Movement strengthens coordination, teamwork, and concentration—supporting both body and mind as they learn and grow.

From Garden To Table, Learning Comes Alive

Through our Culinary Adventures program and greenhouse gardening, children see where food comes from and experience new flavors from around the globe. Each meal is a lesson in nutrition, culture, and curiosity.

Field Trips Bring Lessons To Life

Special visits from community helpers, storytellers, and more turn classroom themes into real-world experiences. These in-house adventures inspire wonder, connection, and a deeper love for learning.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

We’d love to share some of the things we love and share with others about SLC so often:

Mrs Hala – when we first started at SLC, we were sooo scared! Mrs. Hala was so caring, loving, genuine and wise! She helped us so many times with things outside of daycare, with advice for how to start solids, help with tricky, gassy baby things, and what rashes to be worried with and what is a normal, weird baby moment. She was always so understanding with us as new parents. We have such a place in our heart for Mrs. Hala!

Mrs. Jenny – Mrs. Jenny brings such a sweet, personable energy to our mornings! Even now, I chat with Mrs. Jenny weekly about Cas, but also just life. I feel like I’m friends with Mrs. Jenny and look forward to saying good morning! While with Mrs. Jenny, Cas learned many skills to help with eating, sharing, and so much sign language! She is always so respectful of our boundaries, while also championing us as parents.

Ms. Zoë – We love Ms. Zoë!! Cas loves hanging out with Ms. Zoë and can’t resist a cuddle with her! Ms. Zoë is always so calming and positive! She has such a “everything’s going to be ok” energy that she brings to a kiddo that literally never stops moving, exploring new corners, and crumbs!

Ms. Morgan – Nick and I are blown away at the learning that has happened with Ms. Morgan! Cas has grown leaps and bounds since starting with the Pelicans. Not only has he been getting better with colors, patterns, recognition and memory, but Ms. Morgan also has helped us reinforce so many life skills. Cas has gotten better at sitting down to listen, learn and understand when something is important. That’s so hard! He has also gained lots of independence with food and helping with general things like cleaning up or helping carry something. These are skills we teach at home, but when they align so strongly with the daily learning, it means the world.

Ms. Annabelle – Ms. Annabelle brings a calm, fun, imaginative energy to the room! Cas loves playing outside with Ms. Annabelle. Ms. Annabelle always asks how my day’s going, which we always appreciate!

Ms. Dee – Ms. Dee is always willing to help, answer a question, or hold an umbrella! She is an incredible facilitator and makes sure everyone around her feels supported. From our time at SLC, we have seen her many times step in and help where she can! Cas wasn’t too sure about their friendship at the beginning, but now he waves good bye every day to Ms. Dee!

Kitchen Team – We appreciate everything you do and prepare for our little guy! He loves eating at school and eating in general! That is lots in part to the delicious meals you make! Cas looks forward to eating and we appreciate you taking time to put together healthy well rounded meals, culturally and nutritionally.

Mrs. Sarah – We appreciate everything you do! Thank you for being so flexible with us throughout our time at SLC and being supportive of our family.

A common theme we love at SLC is the abounding wonderful care, attention, and support you share for not only Casper but our whole family. It means more than we can share. We have had such great experiences at SLC and are looking forward to continuing!
