Preschool Program

(2-5yr)

Children’s curiosity is a powerful catalyst for learning. Our teachers design an ever-changing curriculum that aligns their interests with age-appropriate development.


By observing and reflecting on children's interests, our faculty designs units of study aligned to developmentally appropriate learning standards.

Program Highlights

  • An inquiry-based preschool curriculum that’s aligned to state and national standards, ensuring pre-K and Kindergarten preparedness.

  • A balance of skill-based instruction, independent and group play, and dedicated outdoor time, with a focus on routines happening throughout the day.

  • Social and emotional learning that helps preschoolers build relationships, develop social skills, navigate conflict and problem-solve.

  • The safest, most up-to-date equipment and toys; and a commitment to safety, security, and cleanliness practices that meet or exceed state and local guidelines.

Vivvi Faculty

Vivvi is brought to life by passionate teachers with years of experience who foster children’s curiosity, development and a love of learning.

“Learning through play allows preschoolers to choose and lead by themselves. Since children are naturally curious, this method helps them learn about the world around them by creating opportunities for them to ask questions and discover new ideas.”

-- Kelia C. - Preschool Teacher
