MACC Preschool (Eastus Drive)
Drop-off program
MACC Preschool (Eastus Drive) offers a well-designed program using current child development concepts and education practices. Our nurturing atmosphere allows the child to develop at their own pace with our teacher-student ratio of 1:8. Our balanced curriculum considers the social, emotional, physical, cognitive and creative needs of each child. Our indoor-outdoor environment provides hands-on opportunities to develop a life-long love of learning.
MACC Phelan (Hibiscus Lane)
Preschool with parent participation option
MACC Phelan Preschool offers a developmental program that is play-based with some structure. We also offer a parent participation option. There is a small tuition reduction for parents who assist in the classroom on a regular basis.
Our classes provide a first school experience in a warm, loving environment. We offer art exploration with a variety of media, children's literature, music and rhythm and movement. The program also includes some science, cooking, pre-math and pre-reading. Throughout the program, we emphasize the process, not the product and focus on the development of the whole child.
The MACC Phelan site offers a large, child-centered classroom with a broad variety of activity areas as well as a very large play yard. The yard includes a huge sandbox, an elaborate climbing structure, lawn and garden areas, water and sensory tables, and plenty of space for tricycles and wheel toys.
