2026-2027 Program Options

3-Year-Old and 4-Year-Old Preschool

Firefly Preschool is rich in open-ended play where children can be curious, explore, and have meaningful interactions with mindfully presented materials.  We value creating a calm and welcoming space where children feel at home and can develop a sense of belonging.  The Firefly Program includes process art, music education, dance, Spanish lessons, project based learning, nature experiences, opportunities for early math and science exploration, literature and early literacy skill building, daily time spent outdoors, and social-emotional development. We follow the Wisconsin Model for Early Learning Standards Framework to inform our developmental expectations and for us to reflect on each child’s learning, guide our curriculum and communicate growth to caregivers.​

Little Fireflies

Little Fireflies is a play and exploration-based program for our littlest learners.  This class incorporates free play, process art, music, dance, and literature to offer children a comfortable and engaging environment for their earliest preschool experience.  Our teachers know separating from grown-ups can be difficult at this age, so they intentionally build safe and trusting relationships with each child and family.  Bilingual support is available in English and Spanish.  This class is available for 2-year-olds and young 3-year-olds who may not yet be ready for a formal preschool setting. Being fully potty trained is not required.​

Lunch Buddies
​

The Firefly Lunch Buddies Program is a wonderful way to promote positive peer interactions and develop social-emotional skills while sharing a meal and enjoying extended playtime.  Lunch Buddies is offered 5 days a week from 11:30 am-12:30 pm.  Families are responsible for providing their children with a healthy lunch.  

​

Once enrolled, families are charged whether their child attends that day or not.  Families can stop the Lunch Buddies program at any time as long as they notify the Director before the 1st of the following month.

Testimonial

"My son attended Firefly at the age of 3-4 years and he LOVED it. Now he is 13 and still remembers the wonderful memories he had back then. We loved the structure, unique learning opportunities, family engagement and experiences they provide. Now that my daughter is 3, we are back because we couldn't imagine her anywhere else.

Joyful teachers are so amazing, always happy to see our kids every morning, and treat our little one and us like family. She looks forward to going to preschool each day, and I think that says it all!"

Classroom

We believe that children learn best through constructive play, and we foster learning by providing a richly interesting and stimulating environment where your child can discover, explore, and create according to their interests. Through this constructive play, children are able to establish positive self-esteem, and a sense of accomplishment and belonging within themselves. We allow plenty of time for your child to interact with their environment and encourage them to form friendships along with having fun along the way!

​

Your child’s real-life Firefly Preschool classroom experience, combined with creative constructive play, plus a positive learning environment, will help encourage your child’s interests and strengthen their confidence through a lifetime journey of learning.
