Little Adventurers Preschool Program
A play-based preschool in Central Point where children learn through play, exploration, hands-on activities, and real-world adventures.
Play- Based Learning
Play is at the heart of everything we do. Through purposeful, play-based learning, children build early academic skills, strengthen social and emotional development, and develop confidence as they explore, create, ask questions, and solve problems. Every activity is designed to make learning meaningful, engaging, and fun.
- Build with blocks, magnets, and open-ended materials
- Explore books and participate in interactive story time
- Practice letters, sounds, numbers, and early writing
- Create art using a variety of materials
- Engage in dramatic and imaginative play
- Explore nature through outdoor play and mini adventures
- Investigate science through hands-on discovery
- Develop fine and gross motor skills
- Practice problem-solving and critical thinking
- Learn life skills through cooking, gardening, and everyday tasks
- Build friendships and practice kindness
- Strengthen communication through conversations, songs, and group activities
- Discover their community through age-appropriate adventures
- Follow routines that encourage confidence and independence
Nature Center
Learn about trees, plants, and the changing seasons while exploring nature through observation and discovery.
Community Helpers
Meet the people who help our community every day while learning about their important roles through fun, age-appropriate visits. Ex. post office, fire station, police station, nursing home to visit elderly
Park
Run, climb, swing, and explore while building friendships, confidence, coordination, and gross motor skills through active outdoor play.
Seasonal Exploration
Celebrate the changing seasons with special outings like pumpkin patches, holiday events, spring blooms, and other memorable community experiences.
Mini Adventures Designed for preschoolers
Mini Adventures are thoughtfully planned with preschoolers in mind. Rather than long trips or busy attractions, children enjoy short, age-appropriate outings close to home that encourage exploration, curiosity, and confidence. Whether we’re walking a nature trail, attending library story time, visiting the Children’s Museum, meeting community helpers, or exploring a local park, each adventure is designed to be engaging, manageable, and meaningful for young learners. These real-world experiences help children connect what they learn through play with the world around them, creating lasting memories along the way.
A Preschool Designed to Help Children Thrive
Small Group!
Preschoolers thrive when they receive plenty of individual attention, encouragement, and opportunities to explore in a safe, nurturing environment.
- Individualized attention
- Strong friendships
- Knowing every child well
- Flexible learning
- Feeling safe and confident
Parent Communication
As a parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to know what’s happening throughout your child’s day. That’s why I believe in keeping families connected. You’ll receive photos and updates so you can share in your child’s experiences, discoveries, and accomplishments.
On days we leave AWF Home Base for a mini adventure, I’ll send a notification when we depart and another when we’ve safely returned. My goal is to provide open communication and peace of mind, so you always know where your child is and how their day is going.
- Daily updates
- Photos (with permission)
- Open communication
- Partnership with families
Learning Through Play & Adventure
Children thrive when learning and play go hand in hand. That’s why Little Adventurers combines teacher-guided learning with free play, outdoor exploration, and community adventures to create a balanced preschool experience that prepares children for kindergarten while celebrating the joy of childhood.
- Build friendships
- Explore books and early literacy
- Create with open-ended toys/art
- Develop fine and gross motor skills
- Practice problem-solving
- Strengthen communication
- Explore nature
- Practice everyday life skills
- Discover their community
Safety & Care You Can Trust
With a background in nursing, safety, attentiveness, and care are always a top priority. From daily routines to outings, children are closely supervised in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.
Built Around Real Adventures
I’ve always loved taking my own children on adventures—whether it’s the park, the museum, the pool, or a fun day at the Family Fun Center. Those moments of exploring, playing, and discovering are what childhood should be about.
That’s where this program began.
I wanted to create a space where other children could experience those same kinds of adventures during their day—while their parents are at work. Instead of a typical childcare setting, kids get to explore, move, and make memories in a fun and engaging way.
A Day at Little Adventurers Preschool Program
Each week follows a predictable rhythm with three special adventures. Tuesdays focus on developing a love of reading through library story time, books, songs, and playground play. Wednesdays feature a mini adventure where children explore the community through age-appropriate outings like parks, the Children’s Museum, nature centers, and seasonal events. Thursdays are dedicated to building confidence and independence through life skills such as cooking, gardening, nature exploration, community helper visits, and other hands-on experiences.
