Program Overview
Our program features hands-on, inquiry-based learning that encourages each student to think critically and develop problem-solving skills through both whole-class and small-group instruction. Every activity helps children build confidence while learning to live, work, and play with others.
The program is housed at Symmes Elementary and Blue Ash Elementary and operates Monday through Thursday. Morning sessions run 9:10–11:45 a.m., and afternoon sessions run 1:20–3:55 p.m. Busing is provided for all preschool students, with session times determined by each student’s future elementary school of attendance. Children must be toilet-trained to attend the Sycamore Preschool Program.
Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is delivered through engaging thematic units—such as “Getting to Know You” and “The Farm”—and supported by classroom learning centers. All instruction is aligned with the Ohio Early Learning Content Standards.
