Research in the fields of brain development and early childhood education has shown that children learn best when they are actively involved in the construction of their own knowledge through self-directed learning activities. Deep and true understanding comes when young children are supported in playful exploration by caring and encouraging adults in rich and stimulating environments.

Additionally, Flying Hills Preschool teachers supplement these experiences with large and small group activities that focus on social, emotional, and character development, physical fitness, science and a variety of monthly curricular themes. Because we know that our society places a strong emphasis on mathematics and literacy skills, we have designed our programs to give children particularly strong foundations in these disciplines.
