Overview of the Preschool Program
The Preschoolers are at the very start of their school experience at Renbrook and learning through discovery. It is their first opportunity to learn how to live, work, and play in a group environment at Renbrook. Because play is the way children assimilate experiences at this age, we engage them with a wide variety of activities from which to choose.
The learning environment encourages social interaction with teachers and peers, and offers instruction and practice in the skills of problem-solving, decision-making, and communication. Recognizing the need for independence, interdependence, and resourcefulness, we make it possible for students to play alone and with friends.
