Loving Preschool in Woodland Hills

Early Childhood Development Pre-K Learning Center for your Preschooler

Welcome to Halsey Schools! Where Children LOVE to Learn & Teachers LOVE to Teach! ® The teachers and I are here every day with a smile, advice and a sympathetic ear.  When you join our family, we’ll do everything we can to help you and your family learn, grow and be happy. Please give me a call at 818-992-1942 or click to schedule your visit to see what I mean. I hope to meet with you soon.

Your Child Will LOVE It Here & So Will YOU!

Your preschooler will develop a love of learning while working & playing diligently in our Woodland Hills Preschool’s developmentally appropriate, interactive-hands-on Early Childhood Development Center. Your child will be ready to excel in Kindergarten and beyond with physical, emotional, social, and intellectual skills developed through our self confidence building Pre-Kindergarten curriculum.

We encourage your child to explore, learn & master age appropriate skills

When your child learns or acquires a new skill we will encourage its development. Children are not expected to meet any specific educational goals at a specific age or time. Instead we will encourage your child to develop at his/her own pace in a Preschool environment that stimulates the seeking of knowledge, asking of questions and exploration.

Personalized Care & Education

At this age your children will become more active, verbal and independent with a strong desire to do things for themselves. We encourage appropriate development for your two year old with lots of hands-on opportunities to explore inside and outside while developing physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.

At this age your child’s imagination really begins to blossom. We’ll stimulate your three year old’s imagination with daily reading, dramatic play centers, table toys and lots of open ended hands-on experiences.

At this age your child becomes very social, interested in group play with friends and asks lots of how? and why? questions. We support this socialization with many cooperative group activities and always encourage questions. Circle time, writing skills, pre-reading, math skills, and daily journals become more important as we prepare for Kindergarten.
