About this preschool

Mighty Tiger Preschool is a licensed, play-based and Montessori-inspired preschool serving 48 children ages 2 to 5 in a mixed-age setting. The school emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and social-emotional development through play-based learning.

Philosophy
Our educational philosophy draws primarily from the play-based approach, as play is a child's work. We encourage children to choose meaningful activities based on their interests in a prepared environment and we motivate children to learn through interactions that expand their thinking. Play-based learning also teaches children playfully to cooperate and communicate through their play which are critical skills for success in the 21st century.
