The Brooks Preschool is a not for profit organization which provides an early learning resource to the community of Brooks. We have classes available for 3, 4, and 5 year olds. Each class is 2 hours long and is offered 1 or 2 days a week. We are operated by a volunteer Board of Directors and currently have 2 teachers and 1 classroom assistant.

The Brooks Preschool provides a range of developmentally appropriate activities and materials with a thematic unit approach.   The units are coordinated by the teachers and are generated by the children’s interests.  We provide a balance of active and quiet activities, individual, small and large group activities, child-initiated and teacher selected activities, indoor and outdoor play activities.  Learning centers are provided that allow children to explore, experiment, discover, create and ask questions. 

Different areas in the classroom are set up to promote language and listening skills.  Important concepts such as sharing, independence, co-operation, self respect and respect for others will be encouraged, helping to create a positive self-image for your child.  Our main centers will be Housekeeping, Blocks, Sand & Water, Reading, Two Art Tables, with one being completely open ended.  Other centers include Science & Discovery, Pre-math, Pre-writing, and manipulative skill building.  Our centers are changed monthly/weekly according to seasons, themes, and the needs of the children.
