We believe that young children best absorb knowledge through tactile learning and fun. At this age, students are encouraged to ask questions and actively seek solutions through exploration, group activities, and play! Young Learning Center students will develop cognitive reasoning skills, creativity, and a life-long love for learning!

EDUCATION
Playing Pre-School (potty-trained 3 & 4-year-olds)
Tuesdays, 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Playing Preschool is free for Stone Hill Learning Center families for the 2024-2025 school year! Parents will be required to periodically volunteer as a classroom assistant and be subject to a background check to receive free tuition. Designed for homeschoolers and non-homeschoolers alike, our preschool offerings will change the way you think about early childhood education. Together we will embark on an educational, developmentally appropriate, and play-based year of learning. Our Playing Preschool Curriculum is broken into 19 engaging and thematic units that develop skills of reading comprehension, pattern recognition, recall and retell, sorting, measuring, number sense, alphabet knowledge, fine and gross motor skills, and more!
