Preschool Program
Preschool (Seeley and Whipple centers)
"Everyone wants the best possible education for their child, and Concordia offers that at every level, from infants to preschool. But more importantly Concordia offers my family complete peace of mind. Not only are my children genuinely excited to go to school each day, but I am able to go to work each morning knowing that my children are loved and cared for, as much as they would be at home." - Suzanne
Our Preschool offers fun activities that help children ages 3 to 6 develop socially, mentally, and physically.
To accommodate working parents, our full-day Preschool is open year round from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. You can enroll anytime during the year. You do not have to wait for a September start date.
Our program is affordable with our sliding tuition scale and provides discounts for 2 or more children. We accept Action for Children certificates. As a result of this structure, our classrooms have a rich, multi-faceted diversity in race, ethnicity, and economic backgrounds.
We are proud of the quality of our children's programs and hold ourselves to the standards of nationally accrediting agencies. We are licensed by the city and state.
In addition:
We follow recommended teacher/staff ratios of 1/10
We serve nutritious morning and afternoon snacks and lunch - hormone free dairy
Our facility has a large gymnasium and a beautiful, shaded play lot, as we believe that play and outdoor activities are also important to a child's development.
Children enjoy field trips to places, such as the Old Town School of Folk Music
Our teachers have a B.A. degree and a type 04 teaching certificate
We use developmentally appropriate activities, and our curriculum includes proven approaches, such as Creative Curriculum.
The Creative Curriculum is a comprehensive curriculum that is like a roadmap; it helps you get where you want to go. It includes goals and objectives for children's learning in all areas of development; social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and language. The goals and objectives are what you want to accomplish and the curriculum shows you how to do that.
