Children's Learning & Research CenterPreschool Programs
Encouraging children to explore their world through purposeful play

Learning, we believe, should be a positive experience. Our preschool program emphasizes self-motivation, creativity, development of positive attitudes toward learning, and the establishment of good self-concept.
Classrooms provide interest areas where children are encouraged to play, explore and investigate their surroundings. Interest areas include: dramatic play, art, science, blocks, writing/library, manipulatives, sand or water and computers. Activities and materials are frequently rotated.
