Overview

Mission

To provide an education program for childeren aged three to five in a positive professional environment.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our education program is the sole accomplishment of caring-ton preschool and encompasses many developmental areas. These areas are often combined during instruction and throughout the preschool day. The personal-social development deals with the child's self-concept and his or her interaction with others. Aesthetic development includes a wide variety of art forms an materials, as well as rhythm and music activities. Motor development encompasses large and small muscles as well as eye-hand coordination. Language development is a large area including listening skills, memory, telling and role playing stories, and learning to communicate more fluently. Cognitive development introduces the senses, shapes, colors, and numbers. We feel that the preschool experience plays a unique and important role in the development of the child. This educational program benefits all children enrolled, which includes up to 58 students each school year. Students attend preschool four half days, 8:15-11:15 or 12:15-3:15, each week. The school year includes approximately 137 days of instruction. Teaching staff have education in early childhood or a related field, and the preschool is licensed yearly by the state department of human services.
