Join the Essentials Preschool Family!

Children who are 3 years old by September 1st join our Preschool Program, which emphasizes early childhood education. Our instruction is grounded in the Learning Without Tears curriculum, designed to support foundational learning through engaging, age-appropriate methods. We focus on letter and sound recognition, counting to 20, and essential preschool concepts. In addition, children learn vital self-help skills, such as cleaning up after themselves, and practicing kindness and respect with their peers.

We continue to provide daily updates through the Brightwheel App, email correspondence, and in-person updates, ensuring that parents are informed about their child’s progress. Every week, your child’s classwork is sent home so you can celebrate their achievements and reinforce concepts together.

Your child will thrive in a loving, structured setting that nurtures academic development and strong character—because we believe that high-quality childcare is just as much about growing hearts as it is about growing minds.

Our Pre-K 4 program is designed for children who are 4 years old by September 1st. We prioritize early childhood education, ensuring that every child is fully prepared—academically, socially, and emotionally—for a successful transition into kindergarten. Using the high-quality Learning Without Tears (LWT) curriculum, children will explore phonics and early reading, develop strong math and number sense, and engage in learning through songs, play, and hands-on discovery, all while strengthening their social-emotional skills.

We believe that effective communication with families is key to success. That’s why we keep parents consistently informed through daily reports, the Brightwheel App, email correspondence, and in-person updates.

Our commitment extends beyond graduation. We maintain connections with families and enjoy hearing how our graduates thrive in kindergarten. In fact, 100% of our surveyed families report that their children were fully ready for kindergarten, and every single one would recommend Essentials Preschool to a friend.

Give your child the best start in early childhood education possible—in a nurturing environment where they are known, loved, and prepared for what’s next.

Our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program is the ideal next step for children who turn 5 years old by summer or September 1st. Whether your child isn't yet eligible—or quite ready—for Kindergarten, we provide high-quality childcare that meets their needs. 

In our TK program, we promote early childhood education by encouraging children to explore advanced skills in a developmentally appropriate way, utilizing the Learning Without Tears curriculum. Some of the areas we cover include expanding vocabulary and phonics skills, enhancing math understanding through counting and basic addition, exploring science topics like day & night, gravity, and the five senses, as well as fostering cooperation through group play and team activities.

Whether due to cutoff dates or a family’s choice for additional readiness, this accelerated TK program ensures your child builds confidence and mastery before entering elementary school. As always, we keep families well-informed through daily reports, the Brightwheel App, email correspondence, and in-person updates.
