MCH has defined curricula and learning objectives for each of our curriculum areas. However, it’s important to remember that the primary objective of our preschool program is to help students adjust to a school environment and be ready for Kindergarten: socially, emotionally, behaviorally, physically (gross & fine motor skills), and academically.

​

Some of our students take a school year or more just to feel comfortable and work independently (and that is fine)! Research on early childhood education shows that self-regulation (the student’s ability to control his/her behavior and work independently, follow directions, be self-motivated, etc.) is the best predictor of a student’s success. Regardless of a student’s individual personality and development, we can help him or her develop a love of learning and be prepared for future success.

​

​In addition to the objectives described below, our students enjoy exploratory art, music, Spanish, Japanese, Origami, and STEM programming weekly! We build in lots of fun extras, and many chances for free play, including daily outdoor recess unless the weather is truly inclement.
