Ages 33 Months to Pre-K Year
Our intermediate program supports children’s growing curiosity about the world around them. As children’s language skills develop and strengthen, teachers encourage them to ask questions and to express their emotions, and our teachers assist children in navigating social relationships with ease and grace. Belonging to a group is an important milestone at this age, allowing us to begin building children’s self-esteem and celebrating their individuality.
Communication
Thoughtful and outstanding communication is essential to a family’s experience in our program. Expect face-to-face interactions with your child’s teachers every day. Families are invited to stay connected to their child’s daily activities via the Procare Connect app.
Curriculum
Guided by the interests of the children, our teachers deliver emergent curriculum based on developing questions, theories, and ideas. These activities foster self-help skills, encourage social emotional development, and deliver a wide variety of educational experiences.
The Very Best Start
Unique to Kinderberry Hill, our lower teacher-child ratio of 1:8 and small class size of just 16, allows your young preschooler to grow and develop in an intimate learning environment. Strong, trusting relationships form with teachers as they help your child begin to build their own friendships.
Classroom Environment
Designed to be welcoming and captivating, our classrooms provide areas for children to be curious, energetic, and eager learners. Art, sensory, blocks, language, manipulatives, science, math, and dramatic play areas are all richly enhanced with unique and beautiful loose parts materials that encourage open-ended play. These natural, found, and real-life items help to provide endless opportunities for children to use their creativity, develop their emerging sense of self, and learn at their own pace.
Through ongoing observation and assessment our teachers intentionally plan activities and invitations to support children. Our teachers ask open-ended questions to encourage children to further their discussions and thinking. Play opportunities are provided throughout the day to encourage each child’s sense of discovery.

We chose Kinderberry because of the low staff turnover, the consistency of staff, the communication with parents, and the way they meet the social/emotional and developmental needs of the children. Additionally, when we visited, all the staff were smiling, and the kids seemed genuinely happy to be there… we feel privileged to be able to enroll our child here!
