Best Preschools in Lithia, FL

Young Preschool

As a Young Preschool student, your child is transitioning from a Twaddler to a preschool student. Chatting with friends increases verbal and social skills. Solving shape puzzles strengthens problem-solving skills and art experiences nurture creativity. Young Preschool teachers work to foster self-esteem during one-on-one journal time and in group activities. Learning experiences are customized to meet the needs and abilities of each child, so children feel proud of their accomplishments and are motivated to learn more.

Preschool

Preschoolers are natural researchers! Teachers in the Preschool classroom serve as co-researchers with their young students, setting up provocations that help students develop their own understanding of how the world works. Teachers in the classroom document the progress of the students and share anecdotes, photos, and videos of classroom activities with parents through the Brightwheel parent communication app. Our exclusive Village Early Learning Center curriculum encourages exploration and embraces all the different ways that children excel. Aligned with standards set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), our Reggio-Emilia inspired teaching strategies help children develop their own unique gifts.

Preschool

As children transition from the Nido program to our Preschool program, they enter a phase of the curriculum that builds upon on their expanded vocabulary. Collaboration and communication become the cornerstones of all activities. Within this framework, children are prompted to engage in small peer groups, fostering the exploration, design, and presentation of their projects. This approach encourages learners to formulate hypotheses, investigate processes, and draw conclusions, empowering them to articulate and defend ideas, building confidence in their ability to formulate individual opinions and become the authors of their own learning journeys. Explorations are based upon long term projects throughout the year, allowing students to build upon previously mastered concepts, deepening their ability to learn. Through these interdisciplinary projects, children engage in foundational learning skills such as math, science, social studies, and language arts in meaningful ways.
