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.

The Blueberry Class is a child’s gentle introduction to school – a warm, welcoming space where early learners begin to explore independence, social connection, and the world around them. Through play-based activities, music, movement, outdoor exploration, and simple routines, children gain confidence, learn to communicate their needs, and develop early skills in a supportive environment tailored to their age and stage.

The Raspberry Class builds on growing independence and curiosity. At this stage, children begin to engage more deeply with their peers, express ideas, and take on new challenges. Through imaginative play, early literacy and math experiences, art, science exploration, and outdoor learning, students strengthen their communication, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills. Teachers provide gentle guidance while encouraging children to think creatively, collaborate, and develop pride in their accomplishments.

In this dynamic and engaging environment, students deepen their understanding of early literacy, math, science, and problem-solving, while continuing to learn through play and hands-on experiences. 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)

Ages: 5 to 6 years
Schedule:

Whether due to birthday cutoff dates or a need for additional academic and social development, this program provides an enriched, inspiring environment that balances early literacy, math, problem-solving, and social-emotional learning with play and exploration. Our goal is to help children gain confidence, independence, and readiness for a successful transition into kindergarten.
