How the Pre-School of Fish came to be...

I am not a teacher, I don't have degrees or certificates-I am just a mom that fell in love with teaching and coming up with creative ideas to show my kids learning can be fun. I started teaching my kids as newborns using the book Slow And Steady Get Me Ready. I enjoyed the time spent and found it very valuable to start teaching at a young age. I found my children soaked it up like a sponge and had a fun time while learning.

My children now are ages 5 and 2 - As they grew I had to find more resources and games to teach them. I found several great books and web sites. I talked with several homeschooling mothers and found helpful tips and encouragement. Our house has definitely become a house of learning.

Recently we made the decision to home school our children. A friend and mentor of homeschool suggested to me to start a preschool. I started to think how fun would it be to host a preschool and have my children learn with other kids their age. By doing this it will start friendships, develop the love of learning, and what a fun experience for all to be had!

The Pre-School of Fish is designed to give the children a "hands on" experience with learning. This is a time for the child to explore and learn with friends. The curriculum was carefully designed so they are exposed to learning, but not in a pushy way. I want them to play, have fun, be messy and learn along the way. I understand they are young and wiggly and my curriculum is based just for that age group! The children will learn through activities and repetition.

We are excited to open our doors and share our learning games and experiences with you.
