Openings Now Center Verified 5.0 Updated Mar 2026

Open today 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Preschool program following the philosophy that children learn best by doing. Play-based toddler through pre-kindergarten classrooms offer environments where students explore activity centers and develop emergent interests. Teachers pay careful attention to the skills, knowledge, and questions that each student brings to the classroom and explore letters, numbers, counting, music, art, and writing using a variety of materials, subjects, and approaches. Collaborative learning strategies and personalized learning plans also focus on social growth through an Integrated Social Curriculum. Children learn how to confidently and independently solve problems, verbalize their feelings, respect themselves and others, and establish social relationships. Age-appropriate curriculum introduces children to art, science, writing, reading, cooking, and dramatic play.
