our approach
we serve and support our students, families, educators and community
Through a diverse range of curriculum and enrichment activities, your child’s day is engaging, stimulating and constantly evolving with the monthly, weekly and daily themes.
Our trained educators are encouraged to be creative and imaginative in their lesson planning. Lesson plans are age appropriate and edited per student’s interests and abilities. There is no one size fits all with our little ones!
our philosophy
“play is the work of childhood” – jean piaget
At Community Preschool of Huntersville, we believe in getting back to the basics – students are safe, happy, nurtured, and inspired. When you walk the halls, you will hear laughter, curiosity, and happy children learning through play. Our educators truly want to teach and be part of a positive team atmosphere that creates a lively and engaging class setting for every age group. This is who we are at CPH.
our community
community is the foundation of our program
We work together with Community Partners through our Enrichment Programs to serve students and support families and educators. Community fosters a sense of belonging and acceptance for young children. Community events and activities give our students opportunities to build skills, follow interests and “give back” to the community. Leadership starts here!
