Welcome to Mt. Elizabeth Academy, where our Preschool Program provides a joyful and nurturing environment for the growth and development of our children. Recognizing the profound impact of play on young minds, we cultivate a space where children can explore, interact, problem-solve, create, and form communities. Through these activities, they develop cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being.

In our safe and creative classroom, children take significant steps towards independence and self-care. We encourage them to play, learn, and explore, fostering a love for life and a passion for learning. Literacy, science, and math are seamlessly woven into our daily activities, providing hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and enthusiasm.

Throughout the year, our preschoolers engage in essential tasks, such as contributing to clean-up efforts, participating in circle time, and becoming independent in the bathroom. These experiences empower them to be active contributors to their classroom environment, cultivating responsibility and a sense of ownership.

Through play and shared dialogue, we encourage children to express their own individuality as well as appreciate the unique traits of others. Key focus areas for preschoolers are:

Preschool: A Typical Day

at Mt. Elizabeth Academy for Preschool Students

  • The First Hour

    As preschoolers arrive, they choose from the learning centers set up around the room and begin their day with self-directed play. This first hour builds independence and problem-solving as children explore painting, playdough, blocks, puzzles, drawing, water and sand play, dress-up and dramatic areas, books, floor toys, and more, often sharing, planning, and working together as they go.

  • Breakfast Time

    Children wash their hands and join their friends for a healthy, peanut-free breakfast of fruit, vegetables, and cereals, with milk and water. We do not serve juice. At this age, children are encouraged to help serve themselves and tidy their own places.

  • Circle Time

    After the clean-up routine, the class gathers for Circle Time, built around the month’s themes through stories, songs, puppetry, poems, movement, art, crafts, and discussion. For this age group we add more intentional pre-literacy and pre-math, such as letter sounds, counting, patterning, and calendar work, while covering the five areas of development: Language, Literacy, Fine & Gross Motor, Sensory & Science, and Cognitive Learning.

  • Outdoor / Indoor Playtime

    If the weather allows, the children have an active outdoor play session in our park-like playgrounds. In case of inclement weather, teachers lead gross-motor play in our gymnasium through dancing, marching, parachute play, and other active games.

  • Lunch / Nap Time / Afternoon Snack

    Catered lunch is delivered to the classrooms and served family style, with teachers nearby to model table manners and encourage good eating habits. A rest period follows on each child’s own individual cot, with clean sheets and a blanket provided; children who rest without sleeping move quietly to calm activities. After resting, each child is given a healthy snack to start the afternoon.

  • Outdoor / Indoor Play & Story Time

    After snack, the children enjoy more active play along with stories, finger plays, puppets, and interactive group time with their teachers. Indoor or outdoor play follows, depending on the weather.

  • Fine Arts

    Music, Art, Drama, PE, and Yoga run throughout the week, in the homeroom and during the afternoon "Specials Class."
