We believe that experiences in the first 5 years become the building blocks for school readiness – both from a skills perspective, as well as positive relationships with adults and peers.  We also believe that children learn best through developmentally appropriate activities and play.  Our teachers are trained to use a resource from Teaching Strategies® called “Objectives for Development & Learning:  Birth Through Kindergarten.”  This resource guides teachers to better understand how each child is developing along a continuum.  As teachers observe children in the classroom, they tailor the curriculum to meet each child’s individual needs.

CLC Preschool follows a school-year schedule, beginning the Tuesday following Labor Day and ending mid June.  In addition, we offer a theme-based camp experience during July and August for children 12 months through entering Kindergarten.  We follow the Henrico County Public Schools schedule for Winter Break and Spring Break.

• Morning Preschool 9:00am-12:00 noon
