ALEC Preschool
Young Explorers. Big Adventures.
Where Learning Takes Flight.
Welcome to Academy of Learning and Early Care (ALEC) Preschool, where every child is invited to explore, discover, create, and grow.
✈️ Adventures Await
Our 2026–2027 preschool experience is designed around the belief that young children learn best when they are given opportunities to wonder, investigate, move, create, solve problems, and make meaningful connections with the world around them.
This year, we're taking learning on an adventure.
🌎 Exploring Today. Leading Tomorrow.
At ALEC, children aren't simply preparing for kindergarten. They're building the foundation for becoming confident, curious, independent, self-sufficient learners and future leaders.

Learning may take us into nature, into a science investigation, into a creative project, into a story, into a building challenge, or into an entirely new adventure created by the children's own curiosity.
We want children to leave ALEC saying:
"I wonder what we can discover next?"
🎒 What Are We Exploring?
Throughout the school year, our learning experiences will incorporate:
These experiences are intentionally woven into our everyday learning rather than treated as separate subjects.
