Start Early, Grow Confidently
At Playgarden Prep, we believe that every child’s journey begins with connection, curiosity, and care. Our thoughtfully designed programs meet your child where they are developmentally and grow with them—building foundational skills, confidence, and community.
Our Developmental Pathway:
- 3+ Months: Adult-accompanied Early Learning Classes Our adult-accompanied Early Learning classes are the first step into our school environment. With music, movement, and socialization, these classes support early development while introducing routine and group interaction—laying the groundwork for future independence.
- 18+ Months: Preschool Readiness and Early Learning PODs When your little one is ready for gentle separation, our short drop-off Preschool Readiness classes are the next step. These short-group sessions support early independence, language, and social-emotional skills in a safe and nurturing environment—preparing your child for the rhythm and routines of Preschool.
- 18 Months – 5 Years: Preschool and Pre-K Programs Our Montessori-inspired Preschool is where children thrive through exploration, play, and intentional teaching with emphasis on STEAM, language, and literacy. We focus on whole child development, while nurturing social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. With a low student-to-teacher ratio and a warm, inclusive community, we empower children to become confident learners and kind friends.
Flexible Scheduling:
In our Preschool and Pre-K programs, we offer flexible scheduling, with an Early Drop-off starting at 8 AM, and Extended Care options until 5:30 PM.
Supporting You Every Step of the Way
At Playgarden Prep, we partner with families through every phase of early childhood. Our experienced exmissions team works closely with you to ensure a smooth and successful transition to Kindergarten—helping you find the best fit for your child’s next educational step.
