Whether your child is 3 years old and just starting preschool, or they’re 5 years old and getting ready for kindergarten we have a place just for them. ChildScape has both a Preschool and a Pre-Kindergarten program available to help them learn and play.
Preschool
Preschool: 3 years to 4 years
At ChildScape we realize that important development and learning occurs during the preschool years. Our qualified teachers plan and prepare learning environments that foster your child’s active exploration of materials and the world around them. Our teachers provide optimal learning experiences through concrete learning activities, utilizing the Ohio Content Standards.
Teachers Who Encourage
Our teachers encourage children to take the initiative, to function independently, respond to challenges, express themselves, and acquire important skills and concepts. We realize learning is a highly active and interactive process that helps children develop social interaction skills through positive relationships with peers. The integration of our entire preschool program lays the foundation for academic success.
