Preschool and Kindergarten at
The Innovation School
Our program is for children who turn 4 before August 1, 2024. Inquiries regarding enrollment should be sent to [email protected].
This class is a combined group of Preschool and Kindergarten students. School is in session from 8:15am-3:15pm daily, with a half day morning program option that runs from 8:15am-12:00pm daily. In order to begin the application process, we require that families attend an open house or tour to ensure that families understand our school's mission and values and make sure that we can meet the needs of each of our future students.
Our early education supports the individual needs of children through fostering a caring and creative environment where we emphasize social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development, while cultivating a program in which each child discovers their strengths, passions, and unique contributions to the world.
The Innovation School's Early Childhood program focuses on a child’s potential for development through a whole-child philosophy, where learning happens through relationships with others and interactions in environments. This inquiry-based and emergent style of learning holds the child at the center of the curriculum. Wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement emerge from the skills and interests of the learners; making learning an active and engaging process. Students will experience our school values of projects, passions, peers and play on a daily basis as they interact with our staff, their peers and their environment.
