PRESCHOOL
for 3, 4 and 5 year olds

CJCC half-day Preschool programs provide for the social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of children through developmentally appropriate play. Our whole-child approach allows each child to progress at his own rate, in a non-competitive atmosphere. Unique opportunities include gym once a week with specialized teachers, creative movement and music, and swimming lessons included in the five-day Preschool programs.
    Thematic units of study are part of all Early Childhood programs. Some of the areas included are: home and family, safety, the seasons, math, the community, classic children’s literature and science concepts. All aspects of the curriculum meet the Early Childhood Ohio Early Learning Content Standards.
