Academics are partnered with nurturing to provide wonderful first steps as your child begins his/her formal education.

At HWG, children enjoy Music Class once each week with Miss Elizabeth.

Recreational:
HWG Preschoolers attend school at a facility that has a swimming pool! Therefore, swimming is an important part of the preschool curriculum. Large motor skill activities are never a problem at the DACC. The gym and outdoor play areas are always available to our preschoolers for a variety of activities.

At the DACC, M/W/F Preschoolers enjoy a fitness class each week with one of the Center’s fitness instructors.

Cultural:
HWG Preschoolers will learn about other cultures and societies through the year. In our multi-cultural community, there are many opportunities for learning, sharing, and teaching.

Social:
HWG Preschoolers participate in most of the DACC’s special activities. They sing for the Senior Luncheon at Christmas time; they march through the center in their Halloween costumes; they hunt for eggs at Eastertime; and they play on the DACC playground equipment, in the gym, and in the pool.
