Play-Based
At Early Milestones, we recognize that young children develop their understanding through engaging in play and fostering respectful, collaborative relationships with educators and peers. Our preschool curriculum is designed to be play-centered and is influenced by the educational theories of Jean Piaget.
Socialization
Our preschool students cultivate social skills and build self-confidence. They enhance their listening abilities, practice taking turns, and develop advanced self-help skills to foster independence within a safe and supportive environment.
Love of Learning
At Early Milestones, children engage in activities that support their understanding of numbers, literacy, arts, and science within developmentally appropriate and meaningful contexts. We foster a love of reading among our preschoolers through storybook exploration and discussions about various books.
