Engle Junction Preschool


Engle Junction Preschool... All Aboard!

It is the goal of Engle Junction Preschool to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where each child and family is recognized and appreciated.  Our curriculum is founded on the belief that children learn best through creative play and exploration.  Thus our classrooms and curriculum have been carefully designed to promote varied learning experiences.  Children participate in individual, small group, and whole group activities on a daily basis.

Engle Junction Preschool strives to prepare our preschoolers for elementary school by incorporating activities into our program that promote development of social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language skills.  Our teachers recognize the unique learning styles, needs, and interests of each child and work diligently to offer learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate considering our students' ages, individual needs, and social and cultural contexts.
