Our program focuses on the needs and development of each individual child. We at PlayMakers Preschool are here to support your child where they are at. Potty training is not required prior to enrollment. If your child is showing interest in potty training or “toilet learning” readiness, then we will discuss it with the family and support the child through the toilet learning process. We do ask families to provide extra changes of clothing, diapers, etc. during the process.

PlayMakers Preschool’ ratios are no more than 1:8 in our preschool class (three to five years old) with a max class size of 24 children, and 1:7 in our toddler class (24 months to three years old) with a max class size of 14, and 1:4 in our Young Infants and Older infant classes with a max class size of eight with a ratio of 1:4. Our ratios are well below state licensing requirements to provide a high-quality interactive experience for our learners.

Learning through play is a term used in education and psychology to describe how a child can learn to make sense of the world around them. Through play, children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments.

PlayMakers Preschool is a play-and-inquiry-based program. Through individual needs, relationships, and play we embrace emergent curriculum. Emergent curriculum is a way of planning curriculum that is based on the children’s interests and passions at a certain point in time. Children thrive and learn best when their interests are captured. Learning occurs naturally.
