INSPIRE Preschool
Our Preschool
AT INSPIRE PRESCHOOL our goal is to help your child use creativity, music, and movement as they explore and learn. Our program will be centered around music, movement, and the arts, while giving your child a strong educational foundation. We strive to prepare each student to be ready for Kindergarten through our Pre-School and Pre-K classes.
WE OFFER a structured learning environment where your child will discover their world through music, engaging centers (letter recognition, math, gross/fine motor skills, reading, art, etc.), small and large manipulatives, snack preparation, crafts and group circle time.
MULTIPLE STUDIES link music study to academic achievement. More and more studies are also showing that music is important for brain development. With schools removing the arts from daily curriculum, INSPIRE’s goal is to bring music, movement, and the arts back into education.
“We have been very pleased with INSPIRE’s preschool. It is a very positive, loving and nurturing environment. Our daughter has not only grown academically but socially as well. We love that she is able partake in the arts during preschool as well as afterwards. It is a really love of hers. She is able to participate and express herself in a dance class right after preschool which I feel is a very well-rounded experience.” – Maia Rudolph, Parent

“We love INSPIRE Preschool. First of all, I am a clean freak and it’s hard to find a place for children that is clean to my standards. I never question the cleanliness of the school when I drop my daughter off. Second, my daughter is a very active kid, like most. INSPIRE Preschool keeps her engaged with music and dance. My daughter loves telling me about her day or singing me a song that she learned. The preschool dance teacher is great with all the girls too! (A plus for the dance portion, the costumes are on the modest side which is something my husband and I were hoping for when we signed her up for her recital). We highly recommend INSPIRE Entertainment Preschool and dance classes.” – Tracey Romero, Parent
