Truchas Services Center Preschool
Nurturing growth through play-based learning, personalized attention, and strong family connections
The Truchas Services Center Preschool serves children from all the surrounding communities, providing supervision and appropriate curriculum for children ages three to five years old. The mission of the Pre-School program is "Children learning through playing."
Our school provides a nurturing environment where we all learn and grow together. Our teachers are caring and dedicated. We strive to guide children through personalized learning experiences that influence academic and social-emotional development. Our routine sets children up for success and gives them the structure they need to build self-confidence, social skills, problem solving skills, self-control, and develop communication skills they will need when entering kindergarten.
Throughout the years we have prepared several children for kindergarten and take great pride in continuing our work. Seeing children excited and happy to come to school gives us great joy. Our families appreciate our smaller class size and one on one focus their children receive. It has really been a huge benefit in strengthening our relationships with the children and their families.
We love engaging children in learning using nature and often create many arts and crafts with natural resources. This allows the children to connect with nature and really get creative and use their imaginations. With this project in the pictures below the children went out to find objects to create a collage with their names. They had so much fun searching for objects and creating their keepsakes. Their parents loved their creations, and they were excited to take them home and hang them.
