The Preschool at Forty Carrots Family Center knows that quality early childhood education shapes the development of young children on many levels. Providing children with opportunities to be masters of their environment and learn in hands on, multisensory ways helps to lay the foundation for later successes: socially, emotionally, academically and physically. Meeting the gold-standard of quality in the field, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredited Preschool understands that play is, in fact, a child’s work and the best approach for development, accomplishment and instilling a life-long appreciation of learning. Children who attend high quality preschools not only begin kindergarten ahead of where they would be otherwise, but they also feel confident to spread their wings, as they try new things and master new skills.
