Curriculum

Great Escape recently developed a school-wide, theme based, comprehensive, sequential curriculum. Each week we have a theme, letter, number, color and shape that every class spends some time learning. To see the what our weekly themes and concepts are for this school year, see the Calendar.

The focus for the parent's day out program is the development of social skills.

The focus for the preschool program is the further development of social skills and the introduction to basic math and literacy concepts. These concepts are introduced through relevant themes and involve play, group time, individual expression and mutli-sensory activities.

"I believe the teachers and staff are great. Everyone works very hard to provide a fun, safe, educationall environment. I also like the curriculum and events throughout the year."

Conferences

All parents of preschool children are invited to conference with their child's teacher in the spring. This conference will cover the observations made by the teacher throughout the school year, and offer parents the opportunity to ask questions regarding their child's development. Great Escape welcomes parents to set up additional conferences with the teacher any time they fell it is necessary.

Progress Reports

Preschool teachers send home progress reports in the fall and spring for parents to review. Progress reports cover social, physical, and intellectual development.

Physical Development

Great Escape is proud to offer two well equipped, fenced, outdoor playgrounds. Great Escape also has use of an indoor gym for days when outdoor play is not appropriate due to weather.
