Kids Korner Learning Center

Through play and intentional interactions with children, our preschool program focuses on giving children the tools to succeed as their education progresses. It is important to provide children with the opportunity to expand their understanding in all areas of learning.  Doing so gives them the best chance for success in kindergarten.  Our preschool program focuses on developing children’s natural curiosity to learn and explore their environment. Teachers spend time during these exploration periods furthering problem solving skills, encouraging critical thinking skills, and advancing play to new heights.
