Jump Start Your Child's Education at Our Preschool Learning Center
Younger children are encouraged to explore a variety of experiences at an individualized rate. Interest areas are utilized in every learning environment as much of the young student’s development occurs through interactive play within a social setting. Developmentally appropriate lesson plans are created each week by our educators that meet the needs of children as well as goals set by the parents and teaching team.
In preschool, the teachers at Victorum Learning Center utilize lesson plans focused on school readiness. The quality of the foundational skills acquired in early childhood education lay the groundwork for future educational and social success. Exploration and play are key in the planning phase as developmentally appropriate interest areas provide opportunities for children to expand their horizon.
We are excited to be able to continue the use of the Creative Curriculum in our high-quality preschool classroom learning environments. This program helps to promote interactions among children and the interactions of the teacher with each child. With the established routines for the day, we are able to help your child continue to develop their writing, early reading, early math and communication skills. Through the use of the Creative Curriculum we are able to scaffold learning for each child to meet them where they are and help them grow to achieve their learning goals.

Frequently asked questions
Here we have listed some of the most common questions we are asked about this program. Would you like to know more, or have a different question specific to your needs? We are happy to hear from you.
How do I know if my child is ready for preschool?
There are a couple key factors that you can look for to know if it is the right time to start your child in a preschool program. You want your child to be able to express themselves. This does not have to be in complete sentences, but your child should be able to use correct words or small phrases to indicate their needs and wants. Your child should be close to mastering potty training when they are ready to enter preschool. We understand that accidents happen and plan accordingly. We will continue to help your child with their potty training efforts. Children who are ready to enter preschool begin showing signs of independence. We don’t expect them to do everything on their own, but things like feeding themselves, drinking from a cup, putting on a coat, etc. are good indicators that your child could be ready for preschool.
What are the benefits of enrolling a child at a preschool learning center?
At Victorum Learning Center our highly qualified educators help students learn and grow in a structured setting. We use the Creative Curriculum to help your child develop their skills and prepare them for kindergarten. Your child will develop social skills for interacting with their peers as well as learning team building and problem solving skills essential for success in kindergarten and beyond.
