Preschool

2.5 years – 4.0 years old

(This program is for children older than 2.5 years old and younger than 4.0 years in June.)

The Hummingbirds’ Collaborative School preschool program creates a holistic environment through imitation, repetition and strengthening the “DO-ing intelligence” through healthy movement, creative daily rhythm and experiential learning. These aspects of the curriculum stimulate the child’s multiple intelligences into wholeness.
