Dizzy’s Preschool Philosophy
At Dizzy’s Bus Stop Preschool, our basic goal is to foster an environment where kids can master self-reliance, and an “I can do it” attitude. Our focus on fundamental preschool skills such as fine and gross motor development, social, and emotional growth enable the child to gain a positive sense of self worth, as well as respect for others and their environment.

We believe that children learn by doing, which in return builds self esteem, confidence and understanding of how things work. We strive to create an environment where children learn concepts through their most important job – PLAY!

Our preschool will guide each child in the growth and development of the whole child. Areas related to physical, emotional, and social development are all given equal attention when preparing a curriculum to fit the needs of each child. A child's self expression, problem-solving, reasoning, creativity, and analytical thinking are worked out through meaningful play. Our teachers strive to aid each child in developing a positive self-image.

Dizzy’s Preschool Curriculum
Dizzy’s Preschool supports a play-based learning environment that recognizes the value of child-initiated play to support cognitive development of science, math, language and literacy skills. Children’s play stimulates the physical social, emotional and creative development that is critical during a child’s early years. Through play, children actively pose problems, derive solutions, and develop understandings of real world concepts. Dizzy’s Preschool has an emergent curriculum, ensuring a smooth progression from the Green to the Yellow to the Red classroom. Through the use of an age-appropriate and individualized curriculum, our preschool integrates play experiences with a comprehensive learning environment. Each class will explore math, science, language, music, art, movement and dramatic play through a hands-on, discovery-based daily curriculum in an exciting and nurturing environment. Our Red Class (4s-5s) will place a stronger emphasis on Kindergarten-Readiness Skills in math, reading, writing and problem solving. With an emphasis on social skills and instilling a love of learning, our curriculum builds upon itself with each class, ensuring students are fully prepared to integrate into Kindergarten.

Miss Dizzy
Miss Dizzy is excited to now be teaching the 2s/Early 3s preschool class. This is her favorite age to work with because the children are so excited to learn new things and explore their environment. So much of what we work on at this age is the social and emotional development of the children. It's our job to help them communicate with their peers, understand how their actions impact others, and explore their own feelings. We understand that this is often times a child's first time to ever be left in someone else's care and it can sometimes be a little scary, and Miss Dizzy is always eager to create a safe and nurturing environment. We want the children to develop a lifelong love of learning and it all starts here. When Miss Dizzy loves being a part of a great preschool team and when she isn't working in the classroom, you can probably find her in the office working with the rest of the Dizzybus team or off at one of her children's many sporting events. Even with 3 kids of her own, she tries to never miss a game or performance.
