the preschool care program
Early childhood development is critically important. At Iqra, our experienced teachers and staff help facilitate this period of learning, and that’s what separates us from traditional child care facilities.
With our New Beginnings program, your baby will be paired with a primary teacher who will provide personalized attention and nurture them through every milestone—within a caring and cohesive community.
Individualized care
- Independent, teacher-directed, and small-group activities that encourage investigation, exploration, and discovery
- Learning approaches that adapt to each child and incorporate their strengths and interests
- Curriculum that supports creative expression, literacy, music, and more
- Confidence-building opportunities to solve problems and make decisions
- STEM learning that encourages future-forward skills
- Safety, security, and cleanliness practices that meet or exceed all state, local, and national guidelines
Preschool program
We believe that having a small number of staff members per student improves learning outcomes because it allows for more personalized attention and focused interaction with each child. Currently we have one staff for every 10 Pre-schooler.
Children in our preschool classes are encouraged to engage in collaborative play. This helps them gain knowledge in a variety of areas, including physical coordination, emotional development, and the challenging skill of sharing. Our team helps children in our pre-school program improve their problem-solving skills. Our team also promotes self-help skills appropriate for the individual’s age. We offer a variety of activities for children to explore, including science, art, dramatic play, music, water/sand play, community outings, and kindergarten preparation.
