VEER preschools are committed to the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development of children, instilling a love of learning, and preparing them for school and life as caring, active members of their community. VEER preschools are state-licensed and use a vetted, state-certified curriculum. VEER child-to-teacher ratios are below state requirements, providing more opportunities for personalized, hands-on learning and exploration. In addition to guided activities and independent play, children spend part of the day in 40 minute, subject-specific classes for Language Arts, Math, and Science & Social Studies. Subject areas share a theme, such as the seasons or outer space, while following curriculum guidelines. Children travel between classrooms and subject area teachers. This gives children an opportunity to move, experience different classroom environments, and develop relationships with multiple teachers.
