Young Five Preschool Program

Sunny Pointe’s preschool program in Northville, Michigan gives children a warm, home-like setting to build early literacy, social, and motor skills through hands-on learning centers.

 

The preschool program is for children from 2½ yrs – Kindergarten-eligible.  In our preschool program, the activities of the day focus on the theme.

The children are introduced to Learning Centers that encompass a wide range of activities and provide opportunities for hands-on reinforcement of concepts and skills that have been introduced in a whole-group setting.

The curriculum in our preschool program will focus on the following experiences
