We designed Highlights Preschool With a Purpose with a research-backed approach that features the best practices in foundational learning to provide early childhood educators with the resources you need to create the best learning environment possible. This comprehensive, full school-year program provides play-based, hands-on experiences delivered through individualized, joyful learning experiences.

Highlights Preschool With a Purpose recognizes the need for flexibility and ease of use in the classroom, plus support for teachers and resources to build connections with parents.

YOU are their role models, and we are here to help you create a classroom that will buzz with children’s curiosity and the connections they are making all year long.

Our content focuses on the timeless, enduring work of childhood: growing to be CURIOUS, CREATIVE, CARING, and CONFIDENT kids through JOYFUL LEARNING.

We encourage curiosity by tapping into kids’ interests and creating opportunities to question and explore. We give them the freedom to engage in new experiences using their natural curiosity.

We encourage creativity by celebrating self-expression and creative problem-solving. By fostering open-ended play and conversation and encouraging kids to figure things out for themselves, we nurture imagination and discovery.

We encourage caring by sharing our stories and the stories of others, giving children a chance to note our similarities and differences and to practice empathy, respect, and kindness.

We encourage confidence by creating opportunities for children to succeed, fail, and learn. We want kids to know they’re capable and to recognize their own worth.
