Confidence, Humility, Responsiveness, Flexibility, Taking Charge
Like a sturdy oak tree – rooted in humility, branches of confidence swaying with responsiveness to the winds of change, yet flexible enough to bend without breaking.
Reliable, Professional, Punctual, Consistent, Dependable, Committed, Communicative
Accountability is like an anchor for our school. Just as an anchor keeps a ship steady and prevents it from drifting off course, accountability helps our Admin team stay anchored to our purpose and helps our teachers maintain a stable and reliable learning environment for our students.
Continuous Improvement, Adapting, Evolving, Open to Feedback
In our preschool community, being a lifelong learner is like teaching an old dog new tricks. Just as even older dogs can learn new commands and skills with patience and practice, educators and students alike can continually acquire new knowledge and abilities.
Integrity, Honesty, Transparency, Responsible, Record-keeping Ability
Commitment to Ethical Excellence in our preschool is like nurturing a beautiful garden. Integrity is the rich soil, providing a strong foundation for all growth.
Inclusivity, Persistence, Perseverance, Don't Dismiss Due to Behavior
Unwavering Acceptance in Progressive Preschool’s community is like embracing the story of the ugly duckling. Just as the ugly duckling was initially judged and rejected because it didn’t fit in, only to later be celebrated as a beautiful swan, we practice acceptance of all by recognizing and valuing the unique potential in everyone, regardless of their current appearance, knowledge, experiences, or circumstances.
Our staff undergoes 20 hours regular training annually per Child Care Licensing. Each teacher also takes online courses from Better Kid Care and face to face classes by Care About Childcare to enhance their skills and abilities.
We have recurring staff meetings in which we train on Environment Rating Scales, specifically ITERS for Infants and Toddlers, and ECERS for preschool age; we also train on SAPQA for school age.
Through the Office of Child Care’s Child Care Quality System, we earned a High Quality rating! That is level 3 of 4 — we eventually want to improve to the highest level of High Quality Plus.
Meet Our TeamAt Progressive Preschool, we believe the perfect family is caring and compassionate, treating us as partners in their child's education rather than mere babysitters. These families support us in helping their children succeed and work with us to address any challenges.
Communication is key. Our ideal families openly discuss issues, suggest improvements, and seek clarification when needed, fostering a genuine sense of care for both their child and our team.
Before enrolling, they take the time to tour our preschool, ensuring a smooth transition. They complete paperwork diligently, provide necessary information, and understand the value of timely bill payments.
Our ideal families share our communication style, ask questions, and respond to our requests. They value play, consistency, collaboration, and repetition in developing social-emotional skills. Families with children with special needs engage with us, offering valuable insights into their unique requirements.
Actively involved, they read to their children, cherish their artwork, and participate in our activities. They express appreciation, engage with our posts, and spread the word about our preschool. Respecting our schedules and policies is important to them.
Invested in their children's education and growth, these families bond with us, sharing information that could affect their child's emotional stability. They are lifelong learners, value education, communicate regularly, trust us, refer others to us, and follow our procedures.
At Progressive Preschool, we cherish families who are committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for their children, working hand-in-hand with us to foster their development and success.
At Progressive Preschool, we work together with our families to empower and encourage our students’ young minds. We provide ample opportunities to foster success, inspire creativity, cultivate responsibility, and promote accountability.

Yes!
We use ASQs and P.E.E.P. Each of these screeners are designed and intended to aid you and your child in the beginning of their lifelong learning goals, providing insight and guidance to upcoming learning milestones and giving extra support for growing opportunities to teach and improve new skills.
Screeners are not in any way a judgment on your child, you, or your parenting style or skills, but a helpful method to enhance and progress your child’s learning.
We offer preschool with curriculum, Pyramid Model Consortium, social-emotional music, social-emotional yoga and summer camp.
