Infant Program
When faced with the task of entrusting your precious little one to childcare, particularly if you are a new parent, the decision can be quite daunting. At Sandy Hollows Precious Memories Preschool, we understand the importance of this transition for both you and your child. Our foremost objective is to create a nurturing, secure, and welcoming environment where your child can flourish and reach their full potential. We aim to foster a setting that instills confidence and support in both parents and children alike.
Toddler/Intro to Preschool
Welcome to our specially crafted Toddler/Intro to Preschool Program, where we provide a nurturing environment that focuses on developing self-help skills and introducing potty training. Our primary emphasis is on fostering appropriate social interactions, strengthening listening abilities, and expanding language skills while building their vocabulary. Within this program, youll find an abundance of creativity, imagination, and opportunities for discovery. We encourage exploration not only within their immediate environment but also in the world around them. Our little ones are guided to follow simple instructions and introduced to a structured classroom setting. As they actively learn about their emotions and appropriate social interactions, we place great importance on teaching good manners and social etiquette.
Preschool Program
Welcome to our enriching Preschool Program, meticulously designed to nurture social growth and encourage boundless exploration. We believe in fostering a sense of motivation and commitment to learning, which is why both students and teachers share exciting challenges together. Our Preschool environment is thoughtfully themed to provide countless opportunities for observation, research, and self-expression. It serves as an inspiring space for young minds to grow and learn, where curiosity is encouraged, and creativity flourishes. We take pride in offering a rich variety of materials and equipment, not only for academic purposes but also to support social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Regular physical activity further enhances a childs adaptive skills, promoting holistic development. During this crucial developmental stage, children forge strong bonds with their friends and begin to understand the needs of others, fostering empathy and compassion.
Pre-Kindergarten
In our Pre-Kindergarten classroom, our primary focus is to prepare our young learners for the challenges that lie ahead in kindergarten and beyond. We place a strong emphasis on developing essential skills such as following directions, age-appropriate socialization, and problem-solving abilities. Our approach to learning is theme-based, which provides a comprehensive framework for integrating various subjects. Through this approach, we seamlessly incorporate math, science, reading, writing, and social studies into our curriculum. The children actively engage in activities that promote number recognition, counting, patterning, addition, subtraction, deductive reasoning, and other fundamental math concepts. In addition to mathematics, we also dedicate time to practicing writing skills, phonics, word recognition, and proper pencil grip. Our young learners are encouraged to read and write simple sentences, fostering language development and early literacy.

I wrote a review 3 years ago, and I'm returning to follow-up after my last child has gone off to Kinder... I can't say enough about the care my children received at Precious Memories Preschool of Sandy Hollow. ALL of the teachers from the infant room to Pre-K room were attentive and my children learned so much. Any time there was an issue it was promptly addressed and communication was amazing. I only wish we could send my kids for school vacations and holidays. Thank you for an amazing 7.5 years, we'll be back to visit!

My daughter has been at Precious Memories since she was 8 weeks old and we will never go anywhere else. The staff is wonderful and the classrooms feel like home. It was hard to go back to work after having a baby, but Precious Memories made the transition so much easier. I cant say enough good things about this place!
