Spotlight on Coventry and Manchester Preschool! In Summit Preschool classrooms, our youngest learners are diving into exciting professions and life skills: 💉 Medical Marvels: Pretend play introduces students to the medical field while fostering empathy and care. 😊 Emotion Experts: Through exploring feelings, children build emotional intelligence and learn how to express themselves. 🏗️ Mini Architects: Creative design and construction activities teach problem-solving and teamwork skills. It is inspiring to watch these bright young minds dream, explore, and grow. Thank you to the dedicated teachers and staff who make it all possible! #SummitPreschool #FutureLeaders #CreativeLearning
