Pre-Casa Program

Pre-Casa Program (15 months to 2.5 years)

The environment is prepared to complement the home and offers the toddler a place where they can achieve self-esteem, self-mastery and self-awareness through practice and repetition at their own pace.

The environment supports development of Practical Life Skills, Sensorial, Language, Math, Culture and the outdoor learning environment.

The child from birth focuses on a sensorial exploration of the world. They learn by watching and then doing for themselves. They begin to take control of their physical movement and their will. The beautifully prepared environments are designed to meet their developmental needs with an emphasis on Practical Life and the Sensorial curriculum.
