PROGRAMS

Our Preschool Program

The CEY Preschool program is designed to prepare children for kindergarten and foster a love for lifelong learning.

FOR CHILDREN BETWEEN 30 MONTHS - 6 YEARS; STAFF/CHILD RATIO IS 1:8

This program offers children the opportunity to explore a variety of activities in the classroom, while becoming familiar with a daily routine similar to that of a school setting.

Our preschool curriculum is aligned with the ELECT framework and incorporates elements of the Montessori approach, using real-life experiences as teaching tools. We understand that every child develops at their own pace, and we encourage independence, responsibility, and interaction in a way that suits each child’s unique needs.
