Preschool for 3 to 4 Year Olds
The preschool years are a time of great creativity and social growth. We plan a day full of fun, engaging experiences designed to stimulate your preschooler’s body and mind – and make learning fun.
At this age, school readiness becomes a priority. Our preschool curriculum is focused on giving your child a solid foundation in the academic skills needed for Kindergarten and beyond.
Our Curriculum
The foundation of our preschool curriculum is Creative Curriculum®, a nationally-recognized, award-winning program that helps your child develop the skills needed for school. We enhance this curriculum with the latest research into brain-based development, available only at The Sunshine House.
Your preschooler will love all the planned, fun experiences in language, math, science, social studies, music and art – and so much more!

Literacy, Self-Esteem & Character Development Program
Our exclusive Seeds of Literacy program uses children’s stories to help your preschooler develop important early literacy skills, including letter recognition, vocabulary development, letter-sound correlation and more. The program also explores character development as your child explores character traits such as patience, kindness, self-esteem and confidence, acceptance and leadership.
Be sure to look for the Seeds of Literacy board in your preschool classroom to find out more.
Spanish & Sign Language
We incorporate two additional languages into our preschool program – Spanish and Sign Language. Research shows that early exposure to second (or third) languages provides children with multiple developmental benefits, including:
- More advanced first language skills
- More ease in speaking a second language later in life
- Greater cultural understanding
- More advanced literacy acquisition
- Greater cognitive functioning
Enhanced Health & Safety Practices
Your child's safety matters most. We take every precaution to ensure your preschooler is safe and secure when they spend their day with us.
We've strengthened our health and safety practices based on current recommendations from the CDC to ensure a safe and healthy environment. Please visit our Health, Safety & Security section for more information.
