Here is also where true friendships can begin to develop as children's social skills blossom. The primary goal of Wonder Nook Preschool is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which each child may realize and grow to his/her fullest potential. Wonder Nook Preschool is a Reggio-inspired program which emphasizes artistic expression, fosters creativity, and follows the interests of the children to develop a project-based curriculum.
We also incorporate the best ideas from diverse childhood developmental philosophies to create a well-rounded program. We value the importance of the development of "self" in relationship to family, friends, and community. We believe that children learn through play, and that a play-based program will develop a lifelong love of learning.
