Country Acres Preschool is a California State licensed preschool program that provides 2 day, 3 day and 5 day preschool options for children ages 2 to 6.
Country Acres recognizes that early childhood is a vital time in a child's development. We believe our programs child centered, hands on, project based and fun curriculum ignites a spark for learning that will last a lifetime. Here children are appreciated for who they are as individuals and we celebrate each of their accomplishments and milestones. We value and respect their diversity, cultures and beliefs. Our small class sizes allow us to know each and every child, their unique talents, likes and dislikes, interests and learning styles, so we can be flexible in designing curriculum to meet their specific needs.
Country Acres embraces a developmental approach to early childhood education. We focus on all aspects of a child's development, social, emotional, physical and intellectual. We encourage learning through play, creativity, in depth projects and collaboration with peers. Teachers observe, guide and facilitate further opportunities for learning. We feel we have the perfect balance of outdoors, nature exploration, imaginative play and hands on developmentally appropriate academics that will prepare a child for kindergarten.
We have created a learning environment that is inviting. Equipment and materials are readily available to encourage children to create, imagine, think, solve problems, take risks and build confidence in their abilities. We believe in getting messy, that water should be played with everyday, we believe rocks and sticks can be anything you can imagine, that paint belongs on paper, hands and even in hair. We believe playing outside is fun no matter the weather and that nothing beats spending days with animals and picnics in the sun.
We pride ourselves in being flexible, creating our weekly themes based on the children's interest and what they want to learn. We observe their natural curiosity and build upon it. We really want nothing more than to make a child's first school experience pure magic and something they will never forget.
We hope you will schedule a time to come by so we can show you around our one of a kind school. We would love to get to know you and tell you more about us and the program we offer.
