Imagine Preschool

Our son is enrolled to begin attending Imagine Preschool in 2016. It’s a new school, and I’m so excited that a Reggio-​inspired program is now available in our area. (Try Googling Reggio Emilia to learn more.) There is an amazing 1:4 teacher to child ratio, and all three teachers are extremely kind, experienced, and patient. Each teacher has a different specialty: art, science, and Spanish. The interior spaces are filled with natural light and carefully chosen colors and materials. Work stations are set up for building, painting, reading, sensory exploration, staging plays, and so forth. The outdoor space includes a grassy play area, a project table, snack area, vegetable and herb gardens, a climbing tree, footbridge and rocks, water feature, mud/​sand tables, and more. I love that the emphasis is on childrens’ curiosities and expression (in many forms), and that the curriculum is flexible enough to be tailored individual interests. I’ll post an update once school has started, but for now, I’m so impressed with Imagine Preschool that I wanted to put a few words out there for other parents who are looking for an extra-​special place in which their little ones can grow and thrive.

A fresh new way to teach children in a comfortable environment. The Reggio Emilia way respects the child’s individual learning process. Suraiya Daud has embraced the concept and principles, creating a nurturing home environment so kids feel comfortable and relaxed, and thus free to explore, experiment and learn. Suraiya it’s a very nuturing and sensitive person who cares deeply about every child she meets and is dedicated to helping kids develop to their best potential.
