Abuzz with conversations, and favorite stories filling the air and abundant in meaningful movement opportunities, FishHawk Early Learning Preschool embraces developmentally appropriate practices to help preschool children thrive and flourish in the years they are in our school and beyond.
GIGGLES, MOVEMENT, AND PLAY ARE HOW WE LEARN EACH DAY!
Our Programs
LEARNING BEYOND ACADEMICS TO SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL & COGNITIVE SUCCESS SKILLS
The preschool years are formative for children to develop introspection and understand how they relate to others.
While we want every child to leave our programs with significant academic growth, we also want to help little people understand their big emotions and grow the cognitive skills for life success. Our classrooms encourage:
Respect
Cooperation
Focus and Attention
Kindness
Consideration
“The teachers and staff have been friendly and welcoming from day one. They ensured our daughter was challenged while keeping education fun. Thanks to FELP, our daughter feels confident and ready to begin kindergarten.”
- George R.
“We moved here not knowing anyone or anything about FishHawk. I’m so glad we came here because we could not be happier with the teachers and curriculum here. My child has learned so much thanks to the hard work of the awesome staff. Thank you!”
- Naida W.
