Preschool
Leading the Way
Preschool at CBA is a safe and nurturing environment where we educate the whole child. This means we focus on a child’s academic development, physical development, and social/emotional development. We use a brain-based curriculum with an emphasis on exploration, discovery, and play. Our goal is to seed a love of learning that will carry students through the rest of their education and lives.
Additionally, our preschool offers unique opportunities. Students participate in related arts classes—with dedicated teachers who specialize in Spanish, Music, Art, and Physical Education classes. Each Wednesday, preschool attends Family Gathering with the rest of Clayton-Bradley’s students. We also offer a mentorship program called Bobcat Buddies that includes preschoolers.
