At the CCDS preschool, we have created a learning environment based on the philosophy that preschool is a crucial stepping stone in helping children become literate, cultured, life-long learners who strive for academic excellence. The purpose of the preschool, through a united school, parent and community effort, is to emphasize self-confidence, compassion, appreciation, and respect for the natural world. The CCDS preschool uses the Integrated Thematic Instruction method within the program, interweaving and connecting grammar, science, pre-reading and pre-math that allows the children to play and experience while learning.

M/W/F Funny Frogs, 8:30am to 11:30am: 4/5 year old class - Monthly Tuition $225

The goals of the CCDS preschool are to create a preschool that:
- Offers small, individualized class size with a low teacher-to-student ratio
- Provides a safe, joyful environment that celebrates learning through multi-sensory hands-on activities
- Encourages children to discover their environment, learn new skills and concepts, engage in activities and gain independence
- Stimulates creative expression through art, drama, music, dance and movement
- Welcomes parent participation to create a partnership in learning
- Supports children in becoming lifelong learners with a positive self image
