The Little Clipper Preschool supports learning and exploring while nurturing each child's cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development. We believe that preschool children discover the world through play and hands-on learning. The Little Clipper Preschool introduces children to a structured preschool environment in encouraging, fun and engaging ways. Our program will provide your child with the skills necessary for success in the early elementary school years. The Little Clipper Preschool is affiliated with the Education and Teacher Training program. We serve up to 18 preschool students per year, ages 30 months (potty trained) to five years. The ETT program's main purpose is to educate high school students who are interested in exploring a career in education. They are given the opportunity to experience the preschool classroom under the direct supervision of the ETT and preschool teachers through observations, creating lesson plans, and direct interaction with the preschool students.
