Epworth Preschool

Epworth Preschool Located in Durham, NC, Epworth Preschool offers a variety of play-based learning programs for children ages 1-PreK.

Epworth Preschool is a community of children, teachers and parents where children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth is fostered in developmentally appropriate ways. We believe that preschool children learn best through play and when they are fully and actively engaged in open-ended exploration. Our goal is to foster the cognitive, emotional, and social development of the child in a developmentally appropriate way. To achieve this goal, we provide a warm, accepting, and stimulating environment. Learning situations are set up so as to enable the child to experience mastery and a sense of competency and self-esteem. We offer opportunities for children to express themselves verbally, musically, artistically, emotionally, and physically. Children are encouraged to explore, think, and create. Play is valued as children’s real “work,” and teachers provide opportunities to enhance and extend quality play. Epworth's classrooms are organized in centers including Blocks, Manipulatives, Art, Dramatic Play, Books/Language, Sensory Table and Science/Discovery. We also have a weekly Music and Movement program and many of our classrooms conduct frequent cooking activities. Classroom curriculum is structured around the use of themes (holidays, dinosaurs, seasons, the rain forest, and community helpers are some of our favorites) to foster a sense of home, family, school, and our broader world. Children ages three and up take field trips, which allows them to develop an awareness of other environments. Daily group circle times allow the opportunity for self-expression and sharing with others. Socializing, specifically sharing and caring, is a major emphasis in all aspects of our program. Our classes are each self-contained and our low teacher to student ratios provide the opportunity for teachers and children to develop a warm, strong relationship. Our day is structured with a balance of teacher- and child-initiated activities, ensuring that children gain a sense of security through regular routines and a daily schedule while exploring their environment through free-choice activities.

As March rolled in, we began to look for the first signs of spring and couldn’t help but notice how much our preschoolers have blossomed! The weather often keeps us on our toes this time of year, but we have been making the most of both our indoor and outdoor time. Dr. Seuss Wacky Wednesday is always one of our favorite days and it was full of silliness, surprises, and so much fun!
