Our Philosophy
Report
One of the greatest benefits of a cooperative preschool is that it allows you to be directly involved with your child's early education. Participating in your child's education is not only rewarding but also provides a sense of fellowship and community between the families of Linda Beach. Linda Beach offers a traditional preschool approach, which emphasizes the development of each child through independent and group play activities.

Our Preschool
Report
At Linda Beach Preschool, we encourage play and individual expression within a gently structured day. The daily schedule helps children become used to changing activities as a group, and allows them to slowly learn to concentrate for longer periods of time.
Preschoolers develop increased self-awareness as they transition from parallel play to building friendships with their peers, and leave Linda Beach comfortable with the behavioral expectations of the classroom setting.We require children to be fully potty trained for either class and we do not allow pull-ups.
