Columbus Avenue School Early Childhood Center Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten

" Four and five year old children are our only Business"

This is evident to all upon entering our school. From the songs and sounds heard coming out of our classrooms, the child made and oriented artwork through out the building to the smaller sized furniture, it is evident that our children are first and foremost in our thinking.

We are a staff that is dedicated to doing all we can to ensure that all of our children feel safe, cared for and that their learning is important to us. The teachers are all dedicated to teaching well planned, differentiated lessons that will reach and teach each child.

There are several committees on which teachers serve that work hard to provide enhancements to our curriculum and safety protocols. Some of these are: The Columbus Ave. Players - a group that produces plays based on books read; Book of the Month Club - chooses which books will be focused on for each month and activities to enhance them; and the Health and Safety Committee.
