Claire's Day School
The primary goal of our preschool program is to best promote the social, emotional, academic, & physical development of our students. We create an atmosphere where our students can become self-confident and comfortable in group settings and experience feelings of success. They will develop self-expression, self-control, creativity, & strong moral values while enjoying learning. Our students exhibit responsibility and improve stamina to prepare for the longer kindergarten day ahead. Phonics and reading readiness (formerly known as the Slingerland method) are taught the same way as it is in HPISD. We’re proud to have the same teaching team in place since our opening 21yrs ago!
We also have Parent’s Day Out programs for younger siblings.
Daily tours offered by appointment!
