Preschoolers | Malvern Academy

Preschoolers (3yrs - 5yrs)

Our Preschoolers have many opportunities to explore learning centers and engage in authentic writing experiences. Your child will be introduced to literacy concepts and expand upon mathematical thinking and scientific inquiry through hands-on materials and exploration. Children will begin to practice social-emotional skills and independently navigate their classroom community.

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step.
