Preschoolers Overview

The focus of the Gideon's Group program is to prepare your child for a lifetime of successful learning.  We time the activities to accommodate the need for variety.  At MFH Childcare, the curriculum is designed to encourage a love of learning and appreciation for the standard school subjects that the students will encounter in Kindergarten.

Your preschooler will engage in many hands-on learning activities to introduce the learning objectives in a meaningful and personal manner.  The curriculum encourages language and communication development, creativity and love for art, physical and social development.
