What is Preschool?
The ‘Hmañ ‘shawa preschool program offers your children (age 3) a wide variety of activities to engage them and prepare them for Kindergarten. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands on learning, your children will work on early literacy, math and science concepts through the Creative Curriculum.
Creative Curriculum and the Arizona Early Learning Standards are hands-on, minds-on curriculum that is based on scientific research and provides children with the foundational skills they need to succeed as lifelong learners. As well as literacy, math and science, twice a week your children will also participate in a comprehensive physical education program.
