Jaguar Classroom
3 years to 5 years
Welcome to the Jaguar Classroom! Our Preschool-1 classroom is licensed by DCFS for 20 children ages 3 years thru 5 years. The teacher to child ratio is 1:10 as the children have become more independent but still need a lot of guidance. We focus on preparing children for kindergarten, working on a large variety developmental skills. This is one of our three preschool classrooms that uses Creative Curriculum offering appropriate, whole-child learning experiences.
