Our Curriculum

Learning for the Whole Child

At Love to Learn Preschool, we believe that preparing children for success means nurturing the whole child. While academic learning is important, we believe children also need opportunities to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and independently.

Our curriculum and daily experiences support children as they build confidence, develop relationships, manage emotions, care for themselves, and become excited and capable learners.

Our whole-child approach includes:

Academic Learning • Social Development • Emotional Development • Self-Regulation • Self-Care • Motor Skills • Independence • Diversity & Inclusion

Our Curriculum Includes:
Ready to Advance • Number Corner • Learning Without Tears • Zoo-Phonics


Activities & Learning Through Play

In addition to our core curriculum, children enjoy a rich variety of hands-on experiences throughout the day, including story time, music, art, science, nature exploration, and plenty of opportunities for play.

We believe young children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and having fun. Our days balance intentional learning with meaningful play, giving children opportunities to build new skills while exploring their interests and developing at their own pace.

Many of our activities are theme-based, allowing us to explore topics that spark curiosity and celebrate the seasons throughout the year. We also create student-centered experiences that reflect each child’s interests, developmental stage, and individual strengths.

At Love to Learn, there’s always something new to discover!

Our Outdoors

Our expansive outdoor spaces give children room to move, explore, imagine, and discover. From our green grassy areas and climbing structures to swings, monkey bars, and play equipment, children have plenty of opportunities to build confidence and develop their gross-motor skills through active play.

Our sandbox becomes a world of its own, where children create sandcastles, dig, build with trucks, and enjoy water play. Our bike track keeps little ones moving while encouraging coordination, balance, and independence.

Our outdoor spaces are also an extension of our classroom. With multiple outdoor learning areas, children can continue exploring and learning surrounded by nature. Water tables, painting, sensory experiences, science exploration, and more provide hands-on opportunities for children to follow their curiosity and learn through play.

At Love to Learn, we believe some of the best learning happens outside!

Our TEACHERs

At Love to Learn, our teachers are at the heart of everything we do. Our team is trained in early childhood education, First Aid/CPR-certified, and Live Scan background checked.

Our teachers create a warm, nurturing, and secure environment where children feel known, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Through positive relationships and intentional guidance, we help children build confidence, develop social skills, and discover the joy of learning.

Combined with the structure and purpose of a high-quality early childhood program, our caring teachers help lay the foundation for curiosity, independence, meaningful relationships, and a lifelong love of learning.

We know choosing a preschool is a big decision. Your child deserves to be surrounded by people who genuinely care—and that’s exactly what we strive to provide every day.
