Early Learning Essentials has a center that offers preschool services in Spanish Fork! We serve children ages 3-5 that qualify for our program. Because our program operates from grants and donations, our preschool program is free for qualifying parents. We have classes at a few different time slots, some half day and some full day, and we do our best to work with parents to find the best fit for them and their child.
Where is Our Spanish Fork Preschool?
Early Learning Essential’s Spanish Fork preschool is located at 614 S Main Street, Spanish Fork 84660, which is just across the street from the rodeo grounds, and right next to the Landmark High School. Although we have a main street address, our center is a ways off the main road.
How Do I Qualify?
When determining program eligibility we compare before-tax income to the income guidelines which depend on family size issued each year by the Federal government. “Family” includes all individuals related to the child’s parent by blood, adoption or marriage who are currently living in the home and are supported by the income of the child’s parent or guardian.
Families that are at or less than the federal gross income level for their family size are income eligible for our program. Some children who are slightly above these income guidelines (up to 130% of the guideline) may be accepted if there are still spots available after all income eligible children are enrolled.
What is Unique About Early Learning Essentials in Spanish Fork?
At Early Learning Essentials in Spanish Fork we focus on preparing children for kindergarten focusing on the whole child. So that children are ready to learn, we teach them skills to self-regulate their emotions by understanding emotions in themselves and in other children. We recognize that school is a journey, and your preschooler is just getting started. Our focus at Early Learning Essentials in Spanish Fork is to help the child and parents gain the skills necessary to succeed for years to come.
Why is Preschool Important?
Preschool is the first step to a life of learning. By attending our Spanish Fork Preschool, children will be setting the foundation for lifelong learning. It will be their first exposure to twelve or more years of schooling. Here at Early Learning Essentials in Spanish Fork, we teach children the foundational skills needed and the basics of attending school to be successful. Children learn the importance of attending school every day, they learn to share, how to make friends, and learn important skills for life moving forward.
ELE Preschool Prepares Children to Transition to Kindergarten
Here at Early Learning Essentials, each day is another step closer to kindergarten. By attending Preschool in Spanish Fork your child will have a head start above those who do not attend preschool . Children at Early Learning Essentials have a balance between academics and playtime as well as a balance between outside play and indoor instruction. Additionally, we have a great relationship with the Nebo School District, and work hand-in-hand with them to make sure your child has a successful transition into their kindergarten program. Early Learning Essentials is more than just childcare, it is a high-quality preschool learning environment.
Preschool vs. Child Care
Attending a preschool is the first step in engaging your child in the academic, creative, and curiosity filled learning they will have in the years ahead. Preschool prepares children by engaging them in learning that is age appropriate and fun! Preschool is more than just child care, it is the first step in education and it shapes the rest of their lives.
While we don’t encourage parents to treat our preschool service like a daycare, having children in class does provide more flexibility for parents during the day. At Early Learning Essentials we encourage the whole family to learn, progress, work, and we are thrilled if having your child enrolled makes that more of a possibility. Additionally, we have a team of Family Advocates that provide social services and can work with you to help you achieve your family goals as well.
Head Start Preschool Services in Spanish Fork
One of the many grants received by Early Learning Essentials is a Head Start grant. This is one of the ways that we ensure that qualifying parents are able to receive free preschool education services for their children.
