Preschool Program - Students 2 to 4 years old
Granada Preparatory School's Preschool Program uses a constructivist approach to learning where children are given the opportunity to grow and develop at their own pace as they learn to make sense of the world in which they live. Our aim is for children to make connections from prior knowledge and to promote critical thinking and problem solving as they experience wonder and are encouraged to ask questions. Connected to the GPS Lower School and Middle School, the program is inspired by the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (which starts with the Jr. Kindergarten class at GPS).
