About

Piedmont Progressive Preschool is a program for young children in the University Area. We are pleased to offer a special curriculum for two- through five-year-olds under the guidance of qualified, experienced teachers.
At the Piedmont Progressive Preschool we believe that children are innately curious and are capable of making meaningful discoveries when they are given opportunities to explore, play and experience. The classroom is carefully prepared so that it invites children into active play and hands-on learning through a variety of sensory experiences. We use natural materials (wood, fabrics) in the classroom, that are gratifying to a child's sight and touch. Through keen observation of the child's needs, interests, and readiness, materials will be introduced sequentially throughout the year, gradually adding in more complicated materials as the children master simpler ones. We spend a great deal of time outside on our natural playground as well as exploring the nature trails on the property. We know the importance of children being engaged in the wonders of nature and the incredible discoveries they can make.
Teachers will listen attentively and think before they speak. Your child will receive specifically directed encouragement rather than blanket praise -- this feels more genuine to the child and truly fosters self-motivation and positive self-regard. Teachers will acknowledge feelings of frustration or disappointment and act as facilitators while children work through their emotions to solve problems.
We are also committed to diversity and believe that children learn about the "real world" when they are with a variety of individuals from all cultures and races. This creates an enriching environment where children can develop their budding social skills.
Through play and discovery learning, your child will learn the developmental skills he or she needs for readiness in literacy, mathematics, and the sciences. It is part of our philosophy that preschool is the best place for children to develop their creativity, social and problem-solving skills and make sense of the world around them in a safe, supportive, open environment. Within developmentally appropriate practices throughout the classroom, children acquire a sound foundation for kindergarten, where they will learn their academics.
The school is run cooperatively by the director, Michele Deese, the teachers and the Parent Council. We offer 2-4, 1/2 day class choices.
