Isn't that what preschool should be all about?
Thistlegarten is a small, unique preschool that offers a morning preschool and an afternoon educational enrichment program, Monday through Thursday, including a lunch bunch. The program is mixed age, from 2 to 5, and incorporates experiences in movement, music, art, drama, cooking and science.
At Thistlegarten, our graduates come back to visit, sometimes for years. They talk about how much they loved being at our school. And they show us through their happiness and achievements that they have a solid cognitive and developmental basis for the rest of their school years.
Sandi McCreadie, the founder and head teacher at Thistlegarten, has a BS in Child Development and a MA in Early Childhood Education.
