Banner Preschool Registration

We will begin accepting registrations in November for the 2013-2014 school year.  Morning and afternoon sessions are available 2, 3, or 5 days a week for children ages 2.5 to 6.


Our program is geared to stimulate intelligence through creative learning experiences. The teaching staff is composed of loving and devoted professionals in early childhood education and development.


 The concept of Banner Preschool is to provide a nurturing environment in which each child can grow and develop to his/her optimum potential and self worth. It is our belief that close communications between the home and the school is an essential ingredient for your child’s success during his early preschool years. We think of this as forming a partnership as teachers and parents work together. Parent/Teacher Conferences are also part of our early childhood program. We have an “open door policy” where parents are welcome to visit our classrooms at anytime.  We welcome you to our family based center.

 At Banner we feel each child is unique. We make sure he/she feels this way too. This philosophy is carried out in the classroom as well as the home. A special home visit from the teacher is scheduled for each child. Birthdays are shared, holiday parties, and family traditions and culture are also planned throughout the year.  


 A high quality program like ours believes that learning is our most exciting endeavor. The activities we do, convey a feeling of celebration as we help children make new connections, find new meanings, and achieve new levels of skill and comprehension. Our humanistic approach to teaching provides a warm setting for close social interaction between  peers and  teachers. Our environment fosters a zest for learning and a positive self-esteem. Our curriculum provides opportunities for children to engage in activities that will enhance their development in personal and social  language and literacy,   mathematical thinking, scientific thinking, social studies, nature studies, music, art, and their physical development.  We offer an indoor gym and an outdoor fenced in playground.  A music specialist is part of our staff.  We believe in a hands-on approach to our teaching. Our children learn best by being active participants in the learning process.
