Early Childhood

Concordia's Early Childhood program serves our Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten communities, and is designed to nurture each child's unique gifts and set them up for lifelong success.

With a warm, caring approach, our highly qualified teachers guide students on an academic journey filled with joy and discovery.

Teaching Philosophy & Methodology

At the heart of our program is a teacher-facilitated, child-led as well as Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy that promotes self-regulation, language development, cognitive growth, and critical social skills.  Our youngest learners engage in academic exploration as well as character development through meaningful play. Intentional exposure to art, language learning, and music and movement occurs throughout the school day. Teachers highlight and celebrate values and virtues in and out of the classroom, emphasizing the importance of kindness, respect, and responsibility. This reinforces the importance of building good character and encourages each child to grow into a responsible and caring individual. Curious about Concordia’s Early Childhood program?
