Preschool Program
An engaging preschool environment where children feel known, supported, and inspired.
At Cassidy, we provide a warm, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment where children begin to explore the wider world around them. Through hands-on play, discovery, and meaningful relationships, children build essential early academic skills while learning to communicate, problem-solve, and collaborate with others.
We are dedicated to supporting each child’s growing sense of self – both as a confident learner and as a valued member of our community. With caring teachers, small class sizes, and thoughtfully planned experiences, we foster a joyful learning environment where curiosity is celebrated, and independence is encouraged.

Teachers provide gentle guidance while encouraging children to think creatively, collaborate, and develop pride in their accomplishments.

Teachers encourage independence, responsibility, and collaboration, helping children gain confidence in both social and academic settings. With longer school days and meaningful routines, students build the skills and resilience they need to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
Strawberry Class: Developmental Kindergarten (DK)

Our goal is to help children gain confidence, independence, and readiness for a successful transition into kindergarten.
