Building a Strong Foundation for Kindergarten and Beyond

At Hooyo Child Care Center, our preschool program prepares children ages 3 to 5 for a successful transition into kindergarten and lifelong learning.


Through a balance of structured activities, creative exploration, and bilingual communication, we cultivate each child’s academic, social, and emotional readiness.


We believe that a strong preschool experience is the gateway to future success—and at Hooyo, every child is set up to thrive.

  • Developing self-help skills
  • Understanding routines and transitions
  • Building fine motor skills for writing and cutting

Play-Based Learning in a Safe Environment

We believe children learn best through play. Our classrooms are arranged into interactive learning centers where children:


  • Role-play and problem-solve in dramatic play areas
  • Explore science and nature through hands-on materials
  • Strengthen motor skills on the playground and in active spaces
  • Foster friendships and teamwork during group projects

Our safe, sanitized environment encourages freedom to explore while maintaining consistent routines and expectations.

Meals, Family Involvement, and Growth Tracking

Preschoolers enjoy healthy meals and snacks as part of their daily schedule.


We communicate regularly with families through:

  • Weekly newsletters
  • Progress reports
  • Parent-teacher conferences
  • Daily activity updates

We believe family involvement is a crucial part of a child's success.
