OUR PROGRAMS

At Magical Years Preschool, we understand that each child is a unique individual with their own set of needs, interests, and abilities. That's why our programs are carefully designed to cater to the diverse developmental stages of children aged 2 to 6.

 

In our safe and nurturing environment, children are encouraged to explore, discover, and express themselves freely, fostering a sense of confidence and self-assurance. Through engaging activities, structured learning experiences, and meaningful interactions, we strive to ignite their curiosity and passion for learning, laying a solid foundation for their future academic success and personal fulfillment. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to nurturing the whole child - mind, body, and spirit - ensuring that they not only excel academically but also develop essential social skills, emotional resilience, and a love for lifelong learning.

 

At Magical Years Preschool, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential, and we are dedicated to supporting them on their journey towards a bright and promising future.

2-3 YR. OLD PROGRAM

Our program for the smallest members offers a safe, secure, and nurturing environment, where children are given the attention they need to get accustomed to the preschool setting. 

Children learn about the daily routines and schedule, as well as start participating in circle time. During circle time, children get to learn about their colors, numbers, and letters, as well as be exposed to age-appropriate literature to build language and communication. Children receive a well-balanced program where there is a structure between educational activities and play. Our two year old's learn to be independent with help of our teachers to learn to explore the world around them through their senses. In our Blue Room classroom, teachers also work closely with parents to develop a potty-training routine that works best for the child. Children learn how to manipulate age-appropriate toys and puzzles, sensory bins, and building blocks.
 
The key to this age group is also expanding their socialization skills. Your children will have a wonderful time playing, exploring, manipulating, problem-solving, communicating, singing, dancing, engaging in dramatic play, and listening to stories, all while not realizing they are learning.

3-4 YR. OLD PROGRAM

Our preschool program is an extension and builds upon the program for two-year-olds.
 
Children are continually encouraged to build their independence, while also exploring a safe, secure, and loving environment. Children are exposed to weekly and monthly themes that build upon skills. Play, along with structured educational activities, provide a perfect balance for our three to four year-olds.

One of the primary advantages lies in fostering independence. At this age, children are naturally curious and eager to assert their autonomy. Our program provides a nurturing environment that encourages and supports the gradual development of independence. Through age-appropriate tasks and activities, children learn to make choices, solve problems, and gain a sense of accomplishment, laying the foundation for lifelong skills.

The emphasis on a safe, secure, and loving environment is paramount. Research consistently demonstrates that a positive and supportive atmosphere enhances a child's emotional well-being, paving the way for healthy social interactions and a positive self-image. By creating an environment where children feel secure, our preschool program cultivates a strong foundation for emotional resilience, self-esteem, and a positive attitude towards learning.

PRE-K PROGRAM

Our Pre-K program continues to build upon the skills of our preschool program.
 
In addition to providing a seamless transition from preschool, our Pre-K program offers numerous benefits for 4- to 6-year-olds that extend far beyond the immediate educational setting. Early childhood education for this age group plays a pivotal role in the holistic development of children, contributing to their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. The structured activities and learning centers employed in our Pre-K curriculum not only cultivate essential academic skills but also foster creativity and critical thinking. Through monthly and weekly thematic approaches, children are exposed to a diverse range of subjects, encouraging curiosity and a love for learning.
 
The emphasis on play, thoughtfully balanced with structured educational activities, ensures that children develop both fine and gross motor skills while honing their ability to collaborate, share, and communicate effectively. This comprehensive approach not only prepares them for a successful transition to elementary school but also establishes a strong foundation for lifelong learning, social adaptability, and overall well-being.

We are partners with CCRC and DCFS families. If you require assistance regarding your child care payment please contact your local Child Care Resource Center for more details.
