5. What does a day at Gan Preschool look like?

Each day at Gan Preschool begins an open-ended activity that is set up to invite the children and inspire their curiosity. We have times for independent learning, play, and exploration and times when we join together as a group for "circle time" and other group learning projects and activities. The children spend plenty of time outdoors engaged in active play.  Gan Preschool graduates know their ABC's (some children can even read!), have built pre-math and early math skills, are curious and excited about the world, and know the Aleph Bet! Our focus on the children's social-emotional development will set your child up to be successful each day at Gan Preschool and be ready for Kindergarten!

Each day we provide a healthy and hearty breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day.  We provide dinner for children staying for extended hours.

Healthy nutrition is critical to the growth and development of our children and our menu reflects meals and snacks that are wholesome, reduced in sugar, and high in nutrients. Plus, Gan Preschool children know the importance of staying hydrated!

At Gan Preschool we use the Nurtured Heart Approach. The Nurtured Heart Approach® is a set of strategies developed by Howard Glasser to help children discover their own greatness and develop Inner Wealth™. The Nurtured Heart Approach focuses on giving energy to what is going right instead of what is going wrong. This relationship-based method empowers our superstar teachers to energize what is going right and channel our children's intensity in positive ways that help all children flourish. We also ustilize the Conscience Discipline methodology.
