Educational Preschool Programs
Our educationally based preschool programs provides a great balance of challenging curriculum and fun, interesting activities. While covering much more than the basic academics that your child will need when entering kindergarten, we include activities to promote deeper thought and learning. Whether it’s space, dinosaurs, or a month of great inventors in history, kids at our Apple Tree Orchard preschool facility have the opportunity to imagine and ask questions.
Projects
No preschool program would be complete without great hands-on activities. Our projects help to not only reinforce our school time subjects, but also to work on fine motor skills.
In addition to covering all of the fundamentals, we know that a truly great preschool program consists of so much more…
Music
Kids naturally love music! Our half-hour classes are taught in the Apple Tree Orchard preschool facility three times per week for all age groups, by a teacher who specializes in music.
Spanish
Just as with music, we have a teacher specifically for Spanish. Our daily classes feature songs, games, and activities to heighten children’s interests in foreign language skills.
Computer Lab
Two years before starting kindergarten, our Pre-K students explore our 14-station computer lab daily. Activities are designed to increase letter and number recognition, and to work on basic reading and math skills.
Dance
Children two and over have a weekly dance class taught by an outside dance company.
Kung Fu
Pre-K students two years before kindergarten age and above attend weekly Kung Fu classes. The core concepts of these classes are respect, modesty, courtesy, and basic self-defense.
Soccer
Children one year before kindergarten age have a fun-filled, half-hour soccer class once a week. These classes are taught by an outside company with teachers who specialize in basic soccer skills and good sportsmanship.
Monthly Fine Art Appreciation
Each month we focus on a famous painting that is representative of a major art movement. Preschool-age kids learn about the history and techniques involved in creating the classic pieces of art.
Special Guests
Our preschool program features many fun performers and educators to enhance your child’s learning experience. Past visitors include professionals from the Omaha Children’s Museum, The Rose Theater, Gifford Farms portable planetarium, Cowboy Dave, the Tooth Fairy, The Amazing Arthur, Poppin’ Penelope, and many more!
All of our enrichment activities are provided at no extra charge.
