The Power of Play-Based Preschools: Fostering Joyful Learning and Growth

Choosing the right preschool for your child is a monumental decision. It’s about more than just academics; it’s about nurturing a love for learning, fostering creativity, and providing an environment where your child can thrive. Our play-based preschool is designed to do just that.

We believe that learning should be an adventure, not a chore. Play is the secret ingredient that sparks curiosity and ignites a passion for exploration. Through hands-on activities and child-initiated play, we inspire children to embrace learning as a joyful journey of discovery.

Fostering Creativity and Imagination: Creativity knows no bounds in our play-based environment. From arts and crafts to imaginative role-play, children are encouraged to express themselves freely. By providing them with the tools and space to unleash their imagination, we help them develop the essential skill of thinking outside the box.

Building Social Skills and Emotional Intelligence: Play is a natural way for children to interact, communicate, and form friendships. In our play-based preschool, your child will learn valuable social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and cooperating with others. They’ll also explore emotions and develop the emotional intelligence needed to navigate the complexities of human interactions.

A Solid Foundation for Academic Success: Play-based learning isn’t just fun; it’s also highly effective. Research shows that children engaged in play-based environments develop strong problem-solving skills, critical thinking abilities, and a solid foundation for future academic achievements. Our preschool prepares children not just for school, but for a lifetime of successful learning.

Choosing a play-based preschool is a decision that sets the tone for your child’s educational journey. Our play-based approach is more than just a method; it’s a philosophy that embraces the power of play as a transformative force. With us, your child will embark on a magical adventure, where learning is joyful, creativity is celebrated, and growth is boundless. Join us in creating a foundation of curiosity, resilience, and joy that will shape your child’s future in the most extraordinary way. Discover the enchantment of our play-based preschool today by taking a tour of our sought-after Pleasant Hill Campus.

Our Mission For Your Toddlers

Early childhood education is crucial for laying the foundation for a child’s success in life. With studies suggesting that 90% of brain development occurs within the first five years of life, it is imperative that children receive quality education starting at a young age. At this age, children’s brains are still developing and are highly receptive to learning, making it an ideal time to introduce them to new ideas and concepts.

Ongoing Fun Summer Program at Learn And Play Montessori Schools

Learn And Play Montessori Schools’ summer marine biology program offers children a unique opportunity to explore and learn about marine life and ecosystems during the summer months. It provides a blend of education, adventure, and fun that can captivate and engage children’s interest in marine life. It allows them to explore their passion for the ocean and learn in an immersive and enjoyable environment.

Explore our daily fun activities!

  • Marine biology puzzles offer a fun and interactive way to learn about marine life. They combine education and entertainment, making the learning process engaging and enjoyable.
  • Sandbox marine biology activities offer a hands-on approach to learning. Children can physically manipulate the sand, water, and model organisms, providing a tangible experience that enhances understanding and retention of marine biology concepts.
  • Matching cards and object activities in marine biology provide a hands-on and interactive approach to learning. They promote memory retention, cognitive skills development, vocabulary expansion, and conceptual understanding while making the learning experience enjoyable and engaging.
  • Using marine-themed counting materials, such as sea animal toys or shells, provides visual representations that aid in counting and reinforce numerical concepts. Children can physically handle objects, move them around, and place them in order, fostering fine motor skills and sensory engagement.
  • Bead stringing involves manipulating small objects, which helps improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Children practice grasping, threading, and manipulating beads, enhancing their dexterity and finger control.
  • Engaging in magnet fishing involves physical activity, including casting the magnet, pulling it back, and reeling in the objects. This activity can contribute to improved coordination, strength, and overall physical fitness.

What else are we doing during this summer program?

A fun under-the-sea activity that our teachers and children are working on every Thursday throughout the summer is a shoebox Ocean Habitat diorama. Each week as we learn more about ocean life, the children will create and add to their diorama
