Wee PreSchool Classrooms
The wee preschool program at Creative Beginnings builds on what was learned in the toddler program. Our two-year-old learners will learn how to write their first names and begin to spell and recognize their last names. Children in this program will learn upper- and lower-case letters, recognize numbers one through five, and learn more complex shapes such as octagon, hexagon, and pentagon. Children will also develop social-emotional skills through feelings identification and verbal expression of feelings and emotions.
