Preschool (Ages 3 – 5 Years)

Building Bright Futures Through Early Learning

At ABC Child Care & Learning Center, we believe that the preschool years are a critical time for laying the foundation for lifelong learning. Our Preschool Program is designed to provide a nurturing, stimulating, and developmentally appropriate environment where children aged 3 to 5 can explore, discover, and grow.

Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum

Our curriculum aligns with the Alabama Standards for Early Learning and Development (ASELDs), ensuring that our teaching practices meet state guidelines for quality early childhood education. These standards emphasize:

  • Social and Emotional Development: Helping children build relationships, manage emotions, and develop a sense of self.

  • Approaches to Play and Learning: Encouraging curiosity, initiative, and persistence.

  • Language and Literacy: Developing communication skills, vocabulary, and early reading and writing abilities.

  • Cognitive Development: Fostering problem-solving, reasoning, and critical thinking.

  • Physical Development and Health: Promoting gross and fine motor skills, as well as healthy habits.

By integrating these domains into our daily activities, we support holistic development and prepare children for a successful transition to kindergarten.

Qualified and Caring Staff

Our dedicated preschool staff meet or exceed the qualifications set by the Alabama Department of Human Resources. Each educator undergoes continuous professional development to stay current with best practices in early childhood education. Our staff-to-child ratios comply with state licensing requirements, ensuring personalized attention and a safe learning environment.
