Preschool
At the Playhouse created by SALT Performing Arts, we are committed to providing a learning environment where the children’s social and emotional development takes center stage. During their time at the Playhouse, children will collaborate with peers to socialize and problem solve, as well as self-express through a curriculum rooted in the fine arts. Preschoolers are made to feel right at home and are given endless opportunities to express themselves through dramatic play, storytelling, music, and movement. They will establish foundational social and pre-academic skills that will support their transition from home into the classroom as they build confidence and recognize school as a place they love to be.

The Playhouse was a magical experience for our child. From enrollment to the final performance, our expectations for preschool were far surpassed. The dedicated teachers cared deeply for each student and inspired a true love of learning. Through music, dance, visual arts, and creative language lessons, our son’s imagination and critical thinking flourished. The joy and love we felt at this school were immeasurable.We could not be more grateful and honored that the Playhouse was our son’s educational foundation.
