A World of Discovery and Play for Preschool-Age Children

---

Our preschoolers are exploring their world and building a strong foundation for school. Using the South Dakota Early Learning Guidelines, we build on the natural curiosity of preschoolers to teach skills like shapes, colors, numbers, letters. But school -readiness is more than rote skills.  OLV preschoolers learn to play together and  care for each other. Our interactive circle times help preschoolers learn to listen attentively to a story, take turns talking, ask and answer questions, and build language skills.
