We believe:

• Parents are children's first and most important teachers
• Licensed teachers nurture and provide structure to support young learners and parents
• Research based curriculum embedded with standardized goals will provide learning to ensure kindergarten readiness
• Classroom environments should be carefully designed to support developmentally appropriate exploration for preschool children
• Play opens the world of learning for the preschool child

Curriculum

Creative Curriculum: This is our base curriculum. Creative Curriculum includes developmentally appropriate goals and objectives for children within four main categories of interest: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language. Teachers use Creative Curriculum as their guide to set-up their classrooms, observe children and ensure they are teaching to the whole child.

Second Step: This is our social-emotional curriculum. Second Step is research-based, teacher-informed, and classroom-tested to promote the social-emotional development, safety, and well-being of young children. When children enter kindergarten with self-regulation and well-rounded social-emotional skills, they are set-up for success.

Foundations: This is our language arts curriculum. Foundations assists children with phonemic awareness, phonics and letter formation.

Wildcat Discovery Park offers children a nature-based outdoor playground experience. An early childhood edible garden, a fort building area, a unique sand box created out of logs and traditional play equipment are available.

Waconia Wildcat Preschool is inclusive and open to all children.
