Our Preschool classroom follows a structured daily schedule which includes a preschool curriculum, snacks, meals, indoor and outdoor play, and a rest period. To help the children gain a better understanding of each weekly curriculum theme, our teachers use a variety of techniques, including art activities, dramatic play, reading and writing, and hands on activities.
We have a very large nature orientated play yard, where the children find a variety of outdoor play equipment, toys, and activities to engage in.
We also offer 4K wrap around care for Woodfield and Trailside students. Families can make arrangements to have their student bused back and forth between Homestead and their respective school.
For safety reasons, Homestead Learning Center, LLC chooses in house field trips as an alternate to transporting the children out of the center.

Kindergarten Readiness Is…
A child who listens
To directions without interrupting
To stories and poems for five or ten minutes without restlessness
A child who hears
Words that rhyme
Words that begin with the same sound or different sounds
A child who sees
Likenesses and differences in pictures and designs
Letters and words that match
A child who understands
The relationship inherent in such works as up and down, top and bottom, little and big
The classifications of words that represent people, places and things
A child who speaks and can
Stay on the topic in class discussions
Retell a story or poem in correct sequence
Tell a story or relate4 an experience of his or her own
A child who thinks and can
Give the main idea of a story
Give unique ideas and important details
Give reasons for his or her opinions
A child who adjusts
To changes in routine and to new situations without becoming fearful
To opposition or defeat without crying or sulking
To necessity of asking for help when needed
A child who plays
Cooperatively with other children
And shares, takes turns and assumes his or her share of group responsibility
And can run, jump, skip, and bounce a ball with comparative dexterity
A child who works
Without being easily distracted
And follows directions
And completes each task
And takes pride in his or her work
