990-EZ for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • At Adventures Preschool, we believe that children learn by being actively engaged, by playing, and by experiencing. Social skills, emotional development and language development are our primary focus. We feel that children will have an excellent start if they: Know how to make and be a friend,Are self-confident,Can ask for help when they need it, they can make decisions, are developing self-control, feel positively about school and curious about their world. Although we do explore academic skills in our program, academic skills are not our main focus. We usually incorporate such learning in the form of games, songs, art, cooking, and conversation. We utilize developmentally appropriate activities and materials.
