Programs Offered

Toddlers: 18 months - 3 years

DCP’s Toddler classes (18 months - 3 years of age) offer a fun learning experience that captivates eager minds. Learning to separate comfortably from a trusted primary caregiver is an important milestone for children this age. Our educators work closely with parents and caregivers to support this process through a team approach, keeping the child at the center of this transition. Our goal is for children to feel comfortable, at-ease, and excited for their day at preschool. 

Young preschool: 3-4.5year

DCP’s Young Preschool classes (3-4 years of age) have a learning atmosphere filled with fun, enthusiasm, and imagination. Learning takes place throughout the classroom – from the art easel and reading area, to the role-playing corner, block area and beyond. Children move freely about the room to enjoy many teacher-prepared learning stations. Educators are always nearby to answer the children’s questions, to provide inquiry that expands thinking and play, and to simply listen as children share their thinking and learning. On an ongoing basis, colors, letters, numbers, names, shapes and social norms are covered through play.

Older preschool: 4-6years

DCP’s Older Preschool classes (4-5 years) provide many opportunities for children to explore and learn. Our well-equipped learning centers are designed to expand play while building a strong foundation for future academic achievement. The educators celebrate each child’s social, emotional and academic growth.
