At the Heart of NCRC Preschool
Our community values collaboration, learning from one another, and sharing ideas, traditions, and talents.
Learning Through Play
Our child-centered program is a play-based curriculum rooted in sound research and developmentally appropriate practices that reveal and enhance each child's skills.
Intentional Teaching
We find the best way to encourage each and every child through endless opportunities.
Finding Perspective
Where your child will explore, create, and experience the wonder of play to discover their view of the world around them.
Encouraging Compassion
Where every child belongs, because each child brings added gifts to the community.
