About this preschool

Little Creek Preschool is a fee-based private preschool run by Yuba River Charter School offering five-day, three-day, and two-day weekly programs. The school emphasizes organic snacks and lunch, creative and imaginative play, and supports children's physical development through sensory experiences and natural materials.

Philosophy
All understanding begins in wonder. We believe young children should not memorize facts and figures as this robs the body of vital forces needed for healthy growth. Teaching is oral, dramatic, and creative. We support children's physical development in the first seven years through periods of active creative play and quiet moments. Young children learn through their senses and imitation, and need to see the world as a place of harmony and beauty.
