Blue Lake Preschool is open year round and offers a quality program with extended hours to meet the needs of working families. We believe it is imperative for developing children to be cared for in a consistent, creative, and reliable environment. Quality childcare is an important part of our community. Quality care at the preschool level contributes to a positive learning experience in Elementary School and teaches children to have functional relationships with their peers. A large part of our curriculum is devoted to interpersonal relationships. Children are encouraged to use their words to resolve conflicts. We provide a choice of learning centers throughout the day to allow the individual child to make positive choices for themselves. The role of the preschool teacher is to facilitate the natural growth and development of the child by creating a supportive and stimulating environment. We strive to be a model center in our community. We actively participate in programs being offered in our community and take full advantage of any training opportunities that are offered to us. We offer age appropriate, hands on activities for each classroom. We believe children learn through play and through a variety of discovery centers. We have a music and movement class every Monday morning and also offer a gymnastics program on a sign up basis every Thursday.
