Academics

We are unique in many ways. Not only is our whole building designed for early childhood education, specifically pre-Kindergarten, but our 12 classrooms are comprised of a combination of six Columbus City Schools Early Childhood Education classrooms and two outside partner providers with three classrooms each in the same building. These Pre-Kindergarten classrooms are inclusion settings where our students with disabilities and their typically developing peers learn and grow along-side each other.

By utilizing child directed exploration, developmentally sound early childhood education practices and play to prepare our young learners, we hope to equip our students and families to have a successful Kindergarten experience and a life-long love of learning as students and families of Columbus City Schools. Our center is a kid friendly atmosphere where students have access to literacy, hands on creative learning materials like our Lego wall, giant magnet wall, and sensory play areas. Students also have access to technology such as Chromebooks, iPads, and Smartboards. We have a variety of activities and monthly programs throughout the Wiggle Jig program with Ballet Met, Local Matters food programming, Nationwide Children's Hospital, clinician visits, PNC bank volunteers and many other community helpers to make our center an amazing first step in a family's education journey.
