Triple R provides preschool from 8:30 to 11:30 AM every morning. Preschool is an integral part of our all-day childcare program. Our curriculum begins at the infant stage and continues through school-age. We provide age-appropriate learning based on the needs of the individual child, preparing your child both academically and socially for kindergarten and elementary school.
