About Us
At Erna Krouch Preschool, we strive to educate the whole child. Our students learn through active exploration and play in an environment which is rich in materials and opportunities to develop curiosity, socialization, and problem solving. Our teachers create an atmosphere of warmth, affection, and respect for each child. During a typical preschool day, there will be structured and unstructured periods, enabling children to learn at their own pace and grow in all aspects – intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and creative.
Activities, experiences, and teacher-child interactions strive to meet the following goals:
- Development of a positive self-concept
- Respect for individuality and the rights of others
- Establishment of positive interactions with peers and adults
- Acceptance and expression of feelings
- Growth of independence and self-sufficiency
- Advancement in cognitive and motor development
Our learning environments include: 
- Blocks of various sizes and materials
- Materials & time for dramatic, imaginative play
