“I love how happy both of our children are at Preschool for the Arts.
We are definitely enrolling for next year.”

In Preschool for the Arts, our #1 rule is: "You gotta have fun!" What better way to have fun than learning through the use of art, music and creative movement.

Through the use of fine arts, your child will learn:

Fine motor skills
Math
Spanish
History
Geography
Science
Music Theory
Reading
Spanish and more!

We offer:

Flexibility: Choose between 1 to 5 days a week. If you feel your child isn’t ready for a full week of school or perhaps it doesn’t fit your schedule, we allow you the flexibility to choose the number of days as well as what days your child attends. (Please note that this is based on availability).
Small class sizes: With only 9 students per class, your child is sure to get the attention they need.
Peace of mind: With all teachers certified in CPR, you can rest assured that your child will be in great hands.
More: Interested in more classes? Try ballet, art, jazz, Soccer Shots or yoga. Head over to our Enrichment Classes to learn more!

At meet your teacher, you will be given a fluorescent color coded name card with your child name on it. Laminate it if you want. Display it clearly on the back of your passenger visor at pick up. If you don’t you will slow down the pick up line and cause a back up. Proper display lets us call for your child quickly for dismissal.

if everyone can come prepared for the first day of school, things will go pretty smoothly. However, please be patient. We have new families. Please be patient. Expect a long drop of car line. Please be patient. After the first week, everyone will get the hang of things and the process will become more and more efficient.

PreK Drop off carline is 8:56-9:03. Turn right into the parking lot. Begin formation of a double car line. Single file will back things up. Please make a double car line. Drive down in front of both buildings. DO NOT STOP in front of 3083. Pull forward to the 3081 door. A cheerful staff member will greet your child. and escort them to the classroom. Please have your pictures already taken at home and have your child unbuckled and ready to exit your vehicle with one of our staff. If we all work together and are patient, things will go smoother and smoother each day as parents, students and teachers get in the groove.

Kindergarten Drop off carline is 9:11 - 9:16. Turn right into the parking lot. Begin formation of a double car line. Single file will back things up. Have your child unbuckled and ready to exit your vehicle. Pull forward to the 3079 door. A cheerful staff member will greet your child. and escort them to the classroom. Please have your pictures already taken at home. If we all work together and are patient, things will go smoother and smoother each day as parents, students and teachers get in the groove.

1st Grade Drop off car line is 9:11 - 9:16. Please pull up past the 3093 door to the tree or you will back up the parking lot. “Scootch” close to the sidewalk to allow K drivers to pass you or you will cause a back up. Please be aware the K cars are trying to form a double car line and do not impede their movements. If we all work together and are patient, things will go smoother and smoother each day as parents, students and teachers get in the groove.
