Marina View Preschool and Kindergarten is an early childhood school serving children from infancy through kindergarten. The program emphasizes whole-child development—intellectual, social, emotional and physical—within a child-centered learning environment.
The school combines developmental and academic instruction, using learning centers, group and individual activities, music and movement, and classroom instruction in language arts, math, science and other subjects. Foreign language instruction (Spanish) is offered, and older classes use dedicated computer time and tablets.
Staff are described as holding required early childhood education units and are trained in CPR, health & safety, and first aid; staff are cleared through the Department of Justice and FBI. The school provides regular communication to families, including daily infant reports and weekly reports for preschool and pre-kindergarten classes.
The Infant Program is for children ages 12 months to 24 months; the teacher-to-child ratio is 1:4. Activities promote sensory, physical and cognitive development and parents receive a daily infant report describing the child's activities and well-being.
The Junior Kindergarten program blends developmental and academic curriculum to bridge the gap between pre-kindergarten and kindergarten; the curriculum includes language arts, science, math, foreign languages, arts, music, phonics, writing and computer. Eligibility is based on specific birthday dates (children with a fifth birthday between September 2 and January 31st).
The all-day Kindergarten Program operates 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (students may arrive as early as 7:00 AM and stay until 6:00 PM), has a small class size of approximately 15 children, and includes curriculum in science, math, foreign languages, music, art, geography, phonics, writing and a computer lab; each student is provided an e-reader and the program includes outside field trips and special events.
The Pre-Kindergarten Program (for children ages 4 to 5 years) provides a balance of developmental learning and academic readiness with learning centers, whole-group and small-group activities, playground time, music and movement, and weekly parent reports.
