“From Little Acorns Mighty Oaks Do Grow”

*Merry Moppet Preschool*

Merry Moppet Preschool has developed a proven readiness curriculum for children ages two through five, which prepares children for a successful elementary experience. Our approach to teaching emphasizes social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth and provides each child with the right balance of challenge, support, encouragement and stimulation. Our developmentally responsive learning environment provides engaging and rich experiences in interacting and learning with others. Each of our preschool classrooms and outdoor play facilities are thoughtfully designed for our youngest learners to play, grow and learn as independently as possible.

Merry Moppet Preschool recognizes the unique opportunity children have during their early years to develop and establish a strong foundation for future learning. Our philosophy is to provide an environment where passionate teachers and happy children come together for the love of learning. We invite you to visit and explore our preschool program and see for yourself the joy that students and families experience while being part of our community.
