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. Children who are 2 years of age or who turn(ed) three between September 1st, 2024, and January 6th, 2025, are the best fit for this program.  Being fully potty trained is not required.

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.
