Ages 3 – 5 years

Welcome to Little Builders Preschool!

Little Builders Preschool offers a safe, nurturing and Spanish immersive program for children ages 3 to 5 years old. We believe children learn best when they are actively involved in discovering, exploring, experimenting and interacting with their environment, and we prepare them for future academic and personal success through engaging, hands-on learning experiences.

Guided play

Play-based learning

We guide children toward play that engages them in a meaningful way. Children explore different stations that fit their mood and interest. The focus and concentration they exhibit help them develop essential skills to be successful in future schooling.

Social skills

Team player

Children learn through gentle guidance how to interact with others. They learn empathy, compassion, teamwork and kindness by working with one another in creative games they come up with. We provide the materials and props to encourage creativity, and they build self-confidence through working successfully with others.

Motor skills

Outdoor activities

Children develop fine motor skills through art projects, and gross motor skills through dance and plenty of outdoor play. We take the children outside, rain or shine. We have a wonderful outdoor space for children to explore to their hearts' content.

Environmental awareness

Nature & animals

We help children explore the wonders of nature through hands-on learning. Children observe the butterfly life cycle from caterpillar to butterfly, learn about planting and caring for our vegetable garden, and participate in harvesting fresh produce. These experiences foster environmental awareness, responsibility, curiosity, and appreciation for the natural world.

Kindergarten prep

Prepare for kindergarten

We have circle time, during which children practice paying attention, waiting their turn, calendaring, and learning about the weather, letters, sounds, numbers and reading comprehension.

Early literacy

Letter recognition and phonological awareness, storytelling and reading, vocabulary development, and early writing and pre-writing activities.
