Jerabek Preschool
Jerabek Preschool, like all of our partnered San Diego preschools, nurtures every area of your baby or young child’s development. Warm and caring staff will respond to your child’s emerging needs, growth, and self-esteem, all while providing a safe-yet-stimulating environment.
Our goal is to provide a high-quality preschool meeting each child's needs. This center offers a rich learning environment that encourages children's natural curiosity and supports them to take risks that lead to new skill development. We value and respect the children’s feelings, interest, strengths, and skills. We provide children an opportunity to participate in planned, active learning experiences to build their readiness skills. We believe that children can learn much more when they experience things and are exposed to different topics to discover their world and express themselves. We provide an environment where children can be safely challenged through activities, experiences and build healthy self-esteem as they develop and learn.
Preschools Services Include
- A computer lab to build technology understanding
- AM/PM snack, with children bringing their own lunch
- A tried & true Kindergarten readiness curriculum
