Growing Bears: Preschool Prep & Play (Ages 3–5) Give your child a confident start in a warm, nurturing environment designed just for first-time learners! Growing Bears is the perfect next step for children who are ready to explore independently while building important social and early learning skills. Each class includes engaging circle time with songs, fingerplays, nursery rhymes, and stories, along with fun, interactive games that encourage listening, sharing, taking turns, and making friends. Children will explore a variety of developmental centers—including art, music, drama, and hands-on manipulatives—designed to spark creativity and support self-expression. With a balance of guided activities and child-led discovery, this program gently builds independence while helping children feel comfortable in a group setting. It’s an ideal introduction to preschool routines in a fun, supportive, and playful atmosphere. Let your little one grow, learn, and make their very first friends!
