About Us

Shaw Dance has offered a preschool program for eighteen years in addition to its wonderful dance program.

At Shaw Preschool, the classroom is a cheerful, happy place. Kids will feel like they are playing all the time, when in fact, they are learning social and classroom skills necessary for success in Kindergarten. Each day, our children will engage in all kinds of hands-on activities. The fun learning activities will be carefully designed to help build confidence, instill self-esteem, encourage self-expression, and develop social skills.

This year will be filled with fun learning activities to keep the curriculum focused and fun. We believe in having a structured curriculum, where learning takes priority, with joy and fun being an integral part of each lesson. The curriculum will include stories, listening, following directions, sharing, learning, and writing letters, color identification, learning and writing numbers, science, exploration, art, computers, and our special focus is to have each child learn to write his/her name. Furthermore, physical education, dance and creative movement will also be an integral part of our program.

In addition, this year will feature monthly themes, weekly topics, and daily activities to keep the daily lessons new, exciting, and challenging. We will have field trips and guest instructors throughout the year, and we will present a Christmas program as well as a spring graduation program.

We are excited about learning and we love children. We will give children a well-rounded preschool experience to prepare them for the challenges of Kindergarten.
