Discovery Preschool
Hello, my name is Miss Sam and I am the lead teacher in the Discovery Preschool classroom. I have worked in child care for 7 years and have been with The Learning Garden for the past 2 years. I have 6 children of my own. When I am not working I love spending time with my kids and family.
"I tell you the truth, 'Anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.' Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them."
Mark 10:15-16
Discovery Preschool
2 1/2 to 3 years
Our Discovery Preschool classroom is designed for children who are still developing necessary potty-training skills, social skills and gross/fine motor skills. We work with the children to expand upon the skills they have learned in our toddler classroom. We continue to learn through play-based learning, child-directed and teacher-initiated opportunities to guide their exploration of skills, routines and language. In doing so, we prepare each student with the necessary skills to have a smooth transition to our Preschool 2 classroom.
